Yes, it is possible to split an atom through a process called nuclear fission.
It is possible to photoactivate any nucleus except 1H. Be really hard to do, but possible. Light (a Photon) is a "massless" sub-atomic particle (Boson) that has no atomic structure / any structure is sub-atomic; IE: No "Atom, proton, neutron, electron" etc. Because of this it is not an "Atom" and cannot be split. Photon's can be 'cloned' which some term as splitting, however they are not really split as there is nothing to split. Photon's interact with charged electrons and clone themselves into lower frequencies, putting white light through a prism results in bands of colored light (lower frequencies).
Atomic bombs create such a powerful explosion because it is started by an atom splitting open, releasing its energy and splitting other atoms, which split other atoms and so on and so on. There are some labs that have a very complex machine that can split atoms and see what's inside. Obviously, you can't do this at home, but it is possible to split an atom.
Albert Einstein did not split the atom; that achievement is attributed to scientists such as Ernest Rutherford and later Otto Hahn and Fritz Strassmann. Einstein's contributions to atomic physics are primarily theoretical, including his famous equation E=mc^2, which showed the relationship between mass and energy.
No, all he did was write to the president (FDR) that the atom bomb should be developed because there was concern that Germany may do it first.April 1932 John Cockcroft and Ernest Walton (in the UK) split the atom for the first time.
Ernest Rutherford, a New Zealand physicist, is credited with being the first person to split the atom in 1917. This groundbreaking achievement laid the foundation for nuclear physics and the development of nuclear technology.

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.
In 1932 john cockcroft and Ernst waltin split the atom.
