what is an atom?

Question

an atom is the building blocks of all matter. It is the smallest particle of an element with the element's properties. in addition it is uncuttable.

Answer 1

You have one correct idea listed. It is the smallest particle of a single element. Atoms, however, are not "uncuttable" as there are much more fundamental particles, like electrons. Neither would I call atoms "the building blocks of all matter" as there are more fundamental particles out there. An atom is simply the smallest unit of a single element.

Answer 2

ANSWER NUMBER ONE:
From Old (and modern) French atome, from Latin atomus ‘smallest particle’, from Greek ἄτομος, noun use of an adjective ‘indivisible’, from α- ‘without’ + τέμνειν ‘to cut’

atom (plural atoms)
(obsolete) The smallest mediaeval unit of time, equal to fifteen ninety-fourths of a second.
(Historical) A theoretical particle of matter, imagined to be incapable of further division; the smallest possible unit of substance.
(physics) The smallest possible amount of matter which still retains its identity as a chemical element, now known to consist of a nucleus surrounded by electrons.
(mathematics) A non-zero member of a Boolean algebra that is not a join of any other elements.
The smallest, indivisible constituent part or unit of something.

ANSWER NUMBER TWO:
1.
a. A part or particle considered to be an irreducible constituent of a specified system.
b. The irreducible, indestructible material unit postulated by ancient atomism.
2. An extremely small part, quantity, or amount.
3. Physics & Chemistry
a. A unit of matter, the smallest unit of an element, having all the characteristics of that element and consisting of a dense, central, positively charged nucleus surrounded by a system of electrons. The entire structure has an approximate diameter of 10-8 centimeter and characteristically remains undivided in chemical reactions except for limited removal, transfer, or exchange of certain electrons.
b. This unit regarded as a source of nuclear energy.

ANSWER NUMBER THREE:
Atom is the name of an XML-based Web content and metadata syndication format, and an application-level protocol for publishing and editing Web resources belonging to periodically updated websites.

All Atom feeds must be well-formed XML documents, and are identified with the application/atom+xml media type.

ANSWER NUMBER FOUR:
Science: chemistry, physics, radiobiology) a particle of matter indivisible by chemical means. It is the fundamental building block of the chemical elements.

The elements, such as iron, lead and sulphur, differ from each other because they contain different kinds of atoms. there are about six sextillion (6 followed by 21 zeros or 6 x 1021) atoms in an ordinary drop of water.

According to present day theory, an atom contains a dense inner core (the nucleus) and a much less dense outer domain consisting of electrons in motion around the nucleus. atoms are electrically neutral.

Answer 3

An atom is a charged particle made up of neutrons, protons and electrons. Protons and neutrons make up the nucleus (protons are positive, neutrons are basically neutral glue for the protons) and electrons are negatively charged and revolve around the nucleus at insane speeds. Atoms do not have a wall, but the electrons which revolve around the nucleus create a sort of shell. Atoms make up molecules which make up elements (the ones on the periodic table) which make up EVERYTHING!

Answer 4

all elements contains one type of atom. the atom consists of protons and neutrons. the central part of the atom is the neutron which is surrounded by a lot of empty space and a cloud off electrons. electrons have a negative charge and protons have a positive and neutrons have no charge.
