Which particle does not change in amount in an atom?
The particle in an atom that cannot change is the number of protons. If that changes, it is no longer the same element.
Can you say that atoms cannot be changed?
Atoms consist of a nucleus and electrons surrounding the nucleus. You can not change the nucleus by ordinary chemical means but you can remove electrons. However, since the electrons are easily replaced the atom is not considered fundamentally changed by removing electrons, but it is changed. There is a way to change a nucleus that's called "neutron activation" . This involves bombarding the nucleus with slow moving neutrons and letting the nucleus adsorb a neutron. This makes the atom a little heavier and can sometimes make the atom radioactive. Neutron activation is not considered a chemical process but it is a way to change the atom. So I would say it is incorrect to say an atom cannot be changed. Atoms can be changed but its not easy.
What is an atom and what are they made of?
An atom is a unit of matter that cannot be split into other atoms. It is made of energy.
What type of atoms are found in the nucleus of an atom?
The nucleus of an atom CANNOT itself contain atoms.
How do the charges of atoms change when they become ions?
the growth of the atom slows down and when the process of change happends the atom will multiply

What idea about the atom change when new evidence was discovered?
atoms cannot be divided

I cannot answer this question.
What is atom in a sentence?
Sometimes, an atom cannot be split.
Smallest unit of matter that cannot be broken down?
Higgs Bozon.

Something which cannot be seen?

Which substance cannot be broken down by a chemical change?
All of the elements of the Periodic Table cannot be broken down into simpler substances.
What are the nuclear change?
Nuclear change is the change in the nucleus of the atom.
What word means cannot be divided?
atom
