It is possible to photoactivate any nucleus except 1H. Be really hard to do, but possible. Light (a Photon) is a "massless" sub-atomic particle (Boson) that has no atomic structure / any structure is sub-atomic; IE: No "Atom, proton, neutron, electron" etc. Because of this it is not an "Atom" and cannot be split. Photon's can be 'cloned' which some term as splitting, however they are not really split as there is nothing to split. Photon's interact with charged electrons and clone themselves into lower frequencies, putting white light through a prism results in bands of colored light (lower frequencies).

Is the nucleus light or heavy?
The nucleus is pretty much light. But it contains the most mass of an atom.
Where are the radioactive alpha beta and gamma radiation made?
The radiation originates in the atom, usually in the nucleus of the atom as a result of the atom being split.
What is the center of the atom?
The center of an atom is a nucleus. In the center of the nucleus, there is protons and neutrons. Around the atom, is the shell. Using the shell, as an orbit is the electron.
How did Einstein split the atom?
Albert Einstein did not split the atom. He did work that predicted what would happen when an atom was split, among many other things.
Where is the proton located in an atom?
In the nucleus of the atom, along with neutrons. The electrons are found around the nucleus. If the atom was the size of a Baseball stadium, the nucleus would be the size of a baseball! Most of the space in an atom is taken up by the electron cloud which surrounds the nucleus. That is why atoms are actually mostly empty space.
What is a characteristic of a radioactive nucleus?
A radioactive atom is an atom of an element with an unstable nucleus.
Physicist and their contribution?
Rutherford. Discovered small charged nucleus of atom. Split the atom.
Is the nucleus light or heavy?
The nucleus is pretty much light. But it contains the most mass of an atom.
When atoms are split which part of the atom is energy released?
nucleus. the nucleus gets the energy and the realises it to the protons and the electrons.
What atom undergoes radioactive decay what is actually split or affected the most?
nucleus
Where are the radioactive alpha beta and gamma radiation made?
The radiation originates in the atom, usually in the nucleus of the atom as a result of the atom being split.
What two isotopes cause the nucleus to split an atom bomb?
The isotopes are uranium-235 or plutonium-239.
Is it possible to see an atom using visible light?
No, it is not possible because the size of an atom is smaller than the wavelength of light.
What causes the atom's nucleus to split?
- for spontaneous fission the cause is an inconvenient ratio between neutrons and protons- bombardment of the nucleus with particles, especially neutrons
What is the center of an atom called?
The center of an atom is called a nucleus (nucleifor plural).Center of an atom is called the "Nucleus".
How do you measure the energy created by spliting a hydrogen atom?
You can't split a hydrogen atom, as the nucleus consists of only one proton, nothing else
What happens to atoms and their electrons while the entity emits light?
The electrons of the atom move closer to the nucleus while the atom emits light.
