Best Answer

An atom of any element can not be "broken" in any normal sense to make any other kind of atom, because the atom is too small to provide a point for efficiently exerting any mechanical force. Under bombardment by neutrons, protons, or alpha particles, some atoms can be modified to produce hydrogen atoms, or at least hydrogen ions, along with other nuclear particles.
