I've seen a page in your archives about how to split atoms in a nuclear bomb.
However, that didn't answer my question. If you take normal, everyday oxygen
(not air, oxygen), how would you split that into two individual oxygen atoms? If
possible, could you also tell me if you could bond several together after
splitting them? Thanks.
