Into single atoms of oxygen, or into a different element?
Both of them are doable, but with a couple problems.
You could split O2 into O with electrolysis. If you did that, the oxygen atoms would immediately reform into O2, so spending the energy to perform the electrolysis would be a waste.
Breaking oxygen into another element would require high-energy physics tools like a cyclotron. It'd be very expensive, you'd have to justify the project to the people who owned the accelerator (who would be using it already - there are far more projects that need accelerator time than there is accelerator time to use) and the elements people make in accelerators are usually radioactive.
Theoretically it's possible to do it. Is it practical? Not really.
Yes, two oxygen atoms can be broken down into two oxygen ions. This process involves the removal of electrons from the oxygen atoms, resulting in the formation of positively charged oxygen ions.
Yes, oxygen can be broken down into simpler substances through various chemical reactions. For example, oxygen can be converted into water through the process of hydrogenation or into carbon dioxide through combustion.
Oxygen gas is given off when potassium permanganate is broken down. Potassium permanganate decomposes into manganese dioxide, potassium hydroxide, and oxygen gas when heated.
No, glucose molecules are broken down into carbon dioxide and water through the process of cellular respiration in living organisms. Oxygen is used in this process to help break down the glucose molecule and release energy.
Potassium can be broken down by fire or combustion, where it reacts vigorously with oxygen. It can also be broken down by certain chemical reactions with water, acids, or halogens.

In photolysis, water molecules are broken down into oxygen, protons, and electrons using light energy. This process occurs during photosynthesis and is essential for generating oxygen and forming ATP.

Carbon, hydrogen and oxygen.
When water is broken down chemically the hydrogen and oxygen atoms split apart from on another and rearrange into diatomic hydrogen (H2) and oxygen (O2) molecules. 2H2O --> 2H2 + O2
