- Answer 2
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.

Why the name Israel instead of Judah?
When the state was first established, the people who established it were strictly secularists, and there was a militant "rebellion against the past." The name "Judah" is a bit too ancient sounding, too archaic. Israel is ancient too, but it is nowhere near as archaic sounding. In the actual ancient times, when the unified Kingdom of David split into the northern Kingdom of Israel, and the southern Kingdom of Judah, the northern kingdom was renamed "Israel" to rebel against the rule of the tribe of Judah. The northern Israelites, had rejected Judaism in favor of pagan worship, religious split is what caused the division.
After king Solomon Israel split into two kingdom and what?
Solomon and his father David were heads of a loose federation of Hebrew tribes, known to the Egyptians as Habiru - brigands and herders who were in the Judean hills. The stories of their grand kingdoms are much exaggerated - there seem to be no remains of Solomon's many palaces. The successor chiefs split into two groups - the 10 tribes of the north (Israell) and the two tribes in the south (Judea). It was after that that Solomon's successors established real kingdoms, and they were soon taken over - by the Assyrians in the north, and the Babylonians in the south, then both by Persia.
