British Physicist Ernest Rutherford is considered the 'father of nuclear physics' and is credited with splitting the first atom in 1917. He pioneered the Rutherford model of the atom and theorized that the charge of an atom is concentrated into a nucleus.
He was able to split the atom in a nuclear reaction between alpha and nitrogen particles which led to the discovery of the proton.
