Benefit: Scientific discoveries
Risk: explosion can be harmful
A nuclear explosion occurs. Also, the inside of the atom is probably shown for a second.
It led to the creation of the atom bomb

Ernest Rutherford was the first person to split an atom deliberately and successfully. He achieved this in 1917 and became Director of the Cavendish Lab at Cambridge University in 1919.
Diamond atoms are just carbon atoms.Chemically no atom of any kind can be split.Via nuclear processes any atom heavier than hydrogen-1 can be split.
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.

WHEN WE SPLIT AN ATOM IT EXPLODES because the become unstable.
Albert Einstein did not split the atom. He did work that predicted what would happen when an atom was split, among many other things.
In 1932 john cockcroft and Ernst waltin split the atom.
Splitting the Atom was created on 2009-10-04.
Atomic bombs create such a powerful explosion because it is started by an atom splitting open, releasing its energy and splitting other atoms, which split other atoms and so on and so on. There are some labs that have a very complex machine that can split atoms and see what's inside. Obviously, you can't do this at home, but it is possible to split an atom.
Scientists have split the atom.
Sometimes, an atom cannot be split.
When you split an atom, you create a nuclear fission. The energy from splitting that atom is converted to electricity. To split an atom means to literally "break it in half." An atom has a nucleus with negatively charged electrons around it. The reaction of the atom splitting is so large that a small amount can convert into numerous amounts of energy.
