Could a normal fault cause a land mass to break apart?

Faults do not cause continents and such to split apart. Faults are an effect of plate tectonics, just like earthquakes are an effect of faults moving. Land masses collide or break apart due to plate tectonics. Because tectonic forces place strain on s certain section of the earths crust, faults form and move from time to time to relieve the pressure.

What would happen if you would break molecules apart?

The subatomic particles of the Atom (neutrons, protons, electrons) are released at high velocity. Some of these particles can strike other atoms and cause them to break apart, releasing large amounts of energy; this is called nuclear fission (atoms fissioning into lighter atoms). A self-sustaining fission reaction where atoms break apart, and cause other atoms to break apart, can be created with many radioactive elements such as Plutonium or Uranium in an event called a Chain Reaction.
