Answer:

They explode!!!

Step-by-step explanation:

When atoms separate they release all the energy and particles in themselves and cause a chain reaction to all other atoms causing an explosion

Hope this helps, and have a nice day!

Under the right conditions the nucleus splits into two pieces and energy is released. This process is called nuclear fission. The energy released in splitting just one atom is miniscule. ... Under the right conditions a large amount of energy can be released within a fraction of a second resulting in a nuclear explosion.
