After King Solomon died his son Rehoboam became king. The ten tribe leaders came to Rehoboam and said (I Kings 12:1-17), "Your father made our yoke heavy; now therefore lighten the burdensome service of your father, and his heavy yoke, which he put on us and we will serve you." To make a long story short Rehoboam refused and so the ten tribes broke away from the full kingdom of Israel and made a new kingdom of the northern ten tribes.

Why did 10 of 12 tribes break away?
Rehoboam's father, King Solomon, had levied relatively heavy taxes, which had been used for such large-scale endeavors as building the First Temple. The fact that the nation was so prosperous and happy in his time (1 Kings 4:20) demonstrates that Solomon conducted his governance in a praiseworthy manner. After Solomon's death, the people approached his son Rehav'am (Rehoboam) and asked that he now lower the tax. He ignored the counsel of his elder advisers and refused the people's request. This led the Ten Tribes to turn away from him (1 Kings ch.12). The background reason was because King Solomon had been less than perfectly righteous. This led God to punish him by diminishing his dynasty in the lifetime of his son (Rehoboam). 1 Kings ch.11. A deeper reason is that God wanted the more righteous people of Judah to be influenced by the Ten Tribes as little as possible.

Assuming you are referring to the twelve tribes of Israel, here they are: Reuben, Simeon, Levi, Judah, Dan, Naphtali, Gad, Asher, Issachar, Zebulun, Joseph and Benjamin.

Initially in 740 BCE the northern part was absorbed into the Assyrian Empire. Then in 722 BCE, the southern part and capital Samaria was absorbed.

The Babylonians copied this technique when they later took over Judah and Benjamin in the south, deporting the aristocracy to Babylon and importing a foreign aristocracy to rule them.

What religion did the faith of the israelites become known as?
The faith of the Israelites became known as Judaism. This is because, though the entire nation was known as Israel, but Rehoboam broke away and called his own kingdom Israel, taking 10 of the original 12 Israelite tribes with him. The two tribes left in the south were Judah and the tribe of Benjamin, the far larger of which was Judah, so the southern kingdom came to be known as such. Therefore, those living in Judah, were called Jews. After the Babylonian exile, the kingdom of Israel to the north was dispersed, and the 10 tribes of that kingdom were lost, leaving only Judah to carry on the Israelite faith. Thus, the only people left who believed in the God of Abraham were those from Judah - Jews. Accordingly, the religion they believed in was called Judaism.
