    If you forced them apart, that’s called nuclear fission and you’d have a nuclear explosion.

    If you waved a magic wand and nullified the nuclear forces in their body, they’d fall apart into a pile of elements.

    Edit: actually this isn’t true, you said splitting the bonds between atoms, not splitting the atoms themselves. They’d just convert to elements.

      Humans contain very little fissile material. So basically all the atoms in the human body would require energy to split apart the nucleus, not release it. So no nuclear explosion.

      Actually, they didn’t. Their question is ambiguous, and can be interpreted either way.
