A mineral that does not split apart evenly has the property of fracture?

Correct. Minerals that do not split apart evenly, like quartz or obsidian, exhibit fracture instead of cleavage. Fracture can be described as uneven, conchoidal, splintery, or fibrous, depending on how the mineral breaks.


How can CO2 be split into carbon and oxygen?

CO2 can be split into carbon and oxygen through a process called electrolysis. This involves passing an electric current through the CO2 molecule, causing it to break apart into its constituent elements of carbon and oxygen.


How can one split water into hydrogen and oxygen?

Water can be split into hydrogen and oxygen through a process called electrolysis. This involves passing an electric current through water, which causes the water molecules to break apart into hydrogen and oxygen gas.


What does an element get split into?

The short answer is 'nothing'. An element is a pure substance which cannot be made any simpler by chemical means. However, if we go beyond chemistry into nuclear physics, then heavier atoms split apart in the process of radioactivity, or can be made to split by neutron bombardment. For instance, if a uranium 235 atom is hit by a neutron, one way it can split produces barium and krypton.


What is the energy produced when an atom is split apart?

Energy is neither created nor destroyed. It is simply converted from one form to another. In nuclear fission (the splitting of atoms) the nucleus is split into two or more parts. The binding energy that represented the parent nucleus is now split into three or more parts - the binding energy that represents the two new nucleuses - and the residual binding energy that is left over. The residual energy is often represented as heat and radiation.
