A pair of scissors parts atoms, as does a bullet. Cut a piece of paper in half, and each half contains approximately half the atoms in the original. But in none of these scenarios is an atom or molecule subdivided or split. Chemical reactions can break up molecules and form others, on a large scale. Nuclear fission splits atoms.

The radius of a new razor blade is typically around 3 micrometers...more than enough to slice off 200 micrometer hairs.
that's about 33000 times wider than an atomic radius.
