What is the source of conflict between Ireland and Northern Ireland?

There is no conflict between the north and the republic. Basically Ireland was under british rule and events in the years after the 1916 rising led to The British 'giving back' Ireland, ie creating a republic. Although, 6 counties in Ulster (out of 9) were kept under british rule, and are now Northern Ireland. Within northern Ireland there are nationalists, those who want the north to join the republic, and unionists, those who want to remain under british rule. Therefore the conflict is generally confined within the north..

The troubles refer to the conflict between Republicans and Loyalists in Northern Ireland mostly between 1969 and 1998. Republicans wanted Northern Ireland to be free from Britain while Loyalists did not want that.

Why is only northern northern Ireland part of the UK?

Ireland wanted Independence from the UK and after many years of campaigning and fighting a treaty was negotiated with the British Government and Irish envoys in 1921. It was enacted after ratification in 1922 founding the Irish Free State (later to become the Irish Republic/Eire). As part of the negotiations "Northern Ireland" (or the 6 counties in the North - predominantly Protestant out of 9 counties of Ulster) were allowed to exercise an option to withdraw from the State and remain part of the UK and did so. The Catholic minority in the North have continued to want unification with the South leading to the "Troubles" and the terrorist problems which largely (but not wholly) ended with the peace process and the Good Friday agreement.

Does Ireland belong to British empire?

Obviously that is a massively controversial subject. The short answer is "Because the majority of people in the six counties known as Northern Ireland consider themselves as British" It was Irish (mostly Ulster) Unionists in the late 1800's who with their allies in the British Conservative party who consistantly objected to the idea of Irish home rule, the idea of a separate homeland for the Protestant Ulstermen seemed like the only compromise, and it was the only thing that nobody wanted, not the British government, not Irish nationalists and not Ulster Loyalists.
