A matrix is diagonalizable over $\mathbb F$ iff its characteristic polynomial splits over $\mathbb F$ and each eigenvalue's geometric multiplicity equals its algebraic multiplicity. Splitting alone is insufficient: $\begin{bmatrix}1&1\\0&1\end{bmatrix}$ has characteristic polynomial $(t-1)^2$ but only one independent eigenvector.
