With a really sharp knife. Just kidding... there is no chemical process that will do this. However, there are naturally occuring nuclear decay processes that will split up an atomic nucleus. When this happens, one heavier atom yields two lighter atoms, plus something released - either an alpha particle (a helium atom nucleus), a beta particle (an electron), or gamma rays (very dangerous.)
