What will happen if ions hits atoms at high speed?

When electrons hit atoms at high speed some of the electrons are knocked away or broken off of the atoms. Once this breakage happens after impact, the atom then becomes a positively charged ion.


Is there a way to split an atom?

YES in a process known as NUCLEAR FISSION a high speed neuron hits a large fissionable atom's nuclear, such as U-235 (235 is the mass number), it splits into 2 new, smaller atoms + 2 high speed neutrons + ENERGY (which may go on to cause further fissions causing a chain reaction: Good for Bombs, but bad for fission reactors, so some neutrons are slowed down by a moderator substance)

What happens when the hydrogen nucleus hits the helium nucleus?

I'm guessing here, but I think you are asking about nuclear fusion. in that case, what happens when a hydrogen atom hits a helium atom? Not much. Fusion would require two hydrogen atoms. What would happen when two hydrogen nuclei hit together? If the pressure and temperature were high enough, the two hydrogen nuclei would fuse, creating an atom of helium, along with a high explosive force and an extremely high release of heat.
