Ernest Rutherford was the New-Zealand physicist who "split the atom". Please see the related links for details.
Physicist Sir Ernest Rutherford, a New Zealand native, conducted the experiment that first split the atom at the University of Manchester in 1919. This pioneering work laid the foundation for nuclear physics and the development of atomic energy.
Yes, it is possible to split an atom through a process called nuclear fission.
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.
The fast neutron chain reaction triggers multiple fissions at an exponentially increasing rate. This happens so rapidly that all the fissions needed to release the energy for the explosion have split in an interval of time on the order of 10 microseconds.
Rutherford. Discovered small charged nucleus of atom. Split the atom.
Robert Julius Oppenheimer is credited with being the Father of the Atom bomb, but he was American.

split the atom
British Physicist Ernest Rutherford is considered the 'father of nuclear physics' and is credited with splitting the first atom in 1917. He pioneered the Rutherford model of the atom and theorized that the charge of an atom is concentrated into a nucleus. He was able to split the atom in a nuclear reaction between alpha and nitrogen particles which led to the discovery of the proton.
