I believe Einstein was aware that the German Nazis were planning to develop a nuclear weapon, around the beginning of WW2, and he brought this to the attention of President Roosevelt and the administration, recommending the US to start a programme to do the same. I don't think he took any active part in the Manhattan project.

What is the term for splitting a atom?

When you split an atom, you create a nuclear fission. The energy from splitting that atom is converted to electricity. To split an atom means to literally "break it in half." An atom has a nucleus with negatively charged electrons around it. The reaction of the atom splitting is so large that a small amount can convert into numerous amounts of energy.
