The same way you break anything. By applying enough energy.
But atoms are difficult to break down (or rather, atomic nucleii are). To smash atomic nucleii, you need to bombard them with high energy sub-atomic particles, like neutrons.

When water evaporates do the covalent bonds between O atoms and H atoms break or do the hydrogen bonds break and why?
The hydrogen bonds break.
What happens when amorphous solid breaks?
If you break a solid, the atoms will seperate from eachother
Which of these can sometimes break the chemical bonds of atoms?
heat
When atoms combine with or break apart from other atoms a what occurs?
When new bonds are formed between atoms, energy is released and this process is known as exothermic process. Similarly when old bonds break, energy from the surrounding is absorbed and is known as endothermic process.
Why does calcite break smooth flat surfaces?
calcite has a regular arrangement of atoms.
Do atoms break in reactants?
No. Atoms never, ever break in chemical reactions. Molecules break if you want to see atoms break, look up nuclear reactions
Which of these can sometimes break the chemical bonds of atoms-?
Heat can sometimes break the chemical bonds of atoms.
When water evaporates do the covalent bonds between O atoms and H atoms break or do the hydrogen bonds break and why?
The hydrogen bonds break.
When an atom break what happens to that atom?
The atoms will break into half :)
When atoms break their old links and form new links with other atoms what has occurred?
when atoms break their old links and form new links with other atoms it is called chemical reaction
Can you break chemical bonds between atoms?
Yes you can break the bonds between atoms and after they are broken they can also reform themselfs.
What are chlorine atoms in the stratosphere?
They break down ozone into oxygen atoms.
Can you break down atoms break them into little pieces?
Yes you can but only scientists know how to make it. It's called an atom bomb. It splits atoms.
What can break chemical bonds of atoms?
A chemical reaction can break the chemical bonds that hold atoms together. A change in temperature can also do it, as can an electric current.
Do atoms break by human power or naturally?
Atoms can decay naturally but they are generally broken by human power. Atoms can also break during a collision with another atom in an atomic fission or fusion reaction.
What happens when amorphous solid breaks?
If you break a solid, the atoms will seperate from eachother
What is it called when atoms break old links and form new ones with other atoms?
when atoms break their old links and form new links with other atoms it is called chemical reaction
