And if splitting atom releases energy, why haven’t these energy break from their atom themselves? Isn’t that means the force that bind the atoms are bigger than the energy released?

Consider it like setting up a massive domino layout. there’s alot of stored up energy there.

if you wait a million years and didnt push those dominos will become weaker and just break in half, but if you actually exerted some large external energy immediately, like you knocking over the first domino, all that stored energy will start going down the domino path.
