  1. Answer:

    A hydrogen atom can be split into a proton and an electron. You need to put in an extra 13.6 volts of energy, but this disappears into the masses of the resulting particles. A proton can be split into three quarks, with a lot more energy. Quarks join up to nucleides, and these become atoms, giving off energy.
