You can't. You can't split atoms, which have a nucleus, so therefore you can¡t split the nucleus, which is an even smaller, inner part. It's mathematically and scientifically impossible!

Actually no, Nuclear energy used in nuclear power plants and atomic bombs use the energy from a split nucleus of plutonium or uranium. So why is it that you think that a nucleus cannot be split when the USA has used a nuclear bomb on Hiroshima and Nagasaki..... Genius.

When a nucleus is split, a process known as nuclear fission occurs. This releases a significant amount of energy, as well as more neutrons which can go on to split other nuclei in a chain reaction. This process is used in nuclear power plants and nuclear weapons.

If you split the nucleus of an atom you get nuclear fission depending on what element the nucleus belonged to. As stated in the dictionary, fission is the act or process of splitting into parts.

Fission occurs when a nucleus is split. The fission of the nucleus produces free photons and neutrons and will give out very high energy.
