Yes, it is possible to split an atom in a molecule (nuclear fission) and it is possible to split an atom from a molecule (chemical dissociation).
In the first case, the processes of nuclear reactions have no respect for ordinary chemistry at all. If uranium is going to undergo fission, it does so, regardless of whether it is in a molecule or not.
In the second case, it happens all the time, as when table salt is dissolved in water, and the atoms ionize and go their separate ways.

Who worked on the atomic bomb?
US Scientists in New Mexico (the Manhattan Project) and Albert Einstein had a say in it as well. he thought that you could split the atom but a huge force would happen but he thought nobody would be stupid enough to try it out.
What was the most important technology in wolrd war 2?
The ability to split the atom was a piece of vast importance in WW2. The result was the atomic bomb that twice was dropped on Japan. The result of the second bombing of Hiroshima caused Japan to unconditionally surrender.
Which country split in two at the end of world war 2?
Germany split after world war 2. But is now together as one country.Germany split into East and West Germany.

How did the atom bomb contribute to the Cold War?
we were feared of due to the technology of the atom bomb.
Is it possible to split an atom?
Yes, it is possible to split an atom through a process called nuclear fission.
Which is the largest atom or molecules?
The largest atom is francium. It is not possible to tell the largest molecule as it will be generally polymeric.
What molecule is split during the light reaction of photosynthesis?
A molecule of water is split producing: 2H+ which contributes to the increase in proton gradient, 2 electrons reducing P680+ to P680, and an oxygen atom which later combines with another oxygen atom to form O2.
Is Be a atom or molecule?

Is O2 a compound molecule or atom?
O is an atom, but O2 is a molecule.
How many structures are possible for a tetrahedral molecule with a formula of AHXYZ?
There are two possible structures for a tetrahedral molecule with the formula AHXYZ. One structure is where the central atom (A) is in the center of the tetrahedron, and the other is where A occupies one of the vertices of the tetrahedron.
What is the smallest possible piece of water?
the smallest possible piece of water would be one water molecule. (one molecule of H2O), consisting of 2 Hydrogen atoms and 1 oxygen atom. Anything smaller, and it would lose the characteristics of water.
