You can't. You can't split atoms, which have a nucleus, so therefore you can¡t split the nucleus, which is an even smaller, inner part. It's mathematically and scientifically impossible!
Actually no, Nuclear energy used in nuclear power plants and atomic bombs use the energy from a split nucleus of plutonium or uranium. So why is it that you think that a nucleus cannot be split when the USA has used a nuclear bomb on Hiroshima and Nagasaki..... Genius.

∙ 13y agoIf you split the nucleus of an atom you get nuclear fission depending on what element the nucleus belonged to. As stated in the dictionary, fission is the act or process of splitting into parts.

What radioactive atoms spontaneously do?
Depending on the type of atom, a radioactive atom will decay by emitting an alpha particle (helium nucleus), proton, neutron, electron, or will split apart completely.
What happens to a nucleus of an unstable atom?
the unstable nucleus will decay into smaller, stable particles.
What happens when a proton is added to a capsule of germanium nucleus?
change flavor
What happens to a positively-charged alpha particles that comes the positively-charged nucleus?
It will repel
What is the center of the atom where protons and neutrons are?
Atomic nucleus .
What is a characteristic of a radioactive nucleus?
A radioactive atom is an atom of an element with an unstable nucleus.
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 happens to a radioactive nucleus when it emits alpha particle and What happens to a radioactive nucleus when it emits alpha particle?
dude..
What atom undergoes radioactive decay what is actually split or affected the most?
nucleus
What happens to the identity of the atom when an electron leaves the nucleus?
Electrons are not part of the atomic nucleus.
What happens in meiosis?
The nucleus divides once.
Hereditary material found in the nucleus?
Chromotain (which forms chromosomes during when cells split).
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 happens when you split the atom?
Go boom
What happens when a step in mitosis is missed?
They will not split.
What is the name for what happens when light is split up into the different colours of the spectrum?
Refraction is the name for what happens when light is split up into the different colors of the spectrum.
What happens when you remove the nucleus from an ameoba?
The amoeba dies
