How do you say atom in latin?
Atomus
Who made the Latin name for atom?
Some say that Democritus named the atom "ATOMUS" which means "invisible" others say John Dalton but i would go with the former (Democritus).
What Latin mean?
The English word "atom" comes from the Latin word "atomus" which comes from the Greek "atomos" which means "not divided (a + tomos)." This word was used by the Romans (taken from Greek theory/ philosophy) for the basic, indivisible building-block of matter, but, especially in Lucretius, other words were more common, such as "corpora, corpora parva, corpora minuta, corpuscula, individuum (a calque I would guess), particula, etc..."

Which Greek philosopher first used a Greek word meaning uncuttable to describe matter?
Lucretius, Leucippus and Democritus all used the Latin word atomus, from the Greek atomos meaning irreducible or uncuttable to describe the nature of matter. The English chemist John Dalton resurrected the lost word in 1805.
All matter consists of particles?
It is a true statement that all matter is composed of atoms. The basic unit of any element is an atom. The Latin word for atom is atomus.
Greek word for atoms?
Atom is a Greek word. It is a composite from the prefix a- (meaning no) and tome (meaning a cut), because Ancient Greeks believed that the atom was the smallest particle of matter, the one that couldn't be cut any further (they hadn't discovered sub atomic particles back then). In ancient Greek it was written άτομον (pronouned at-oh-monn). In modern Greek it's the same, just without the final -n.
Why are atoms in groups?
Our word "atom" comes from the ancient Greek words "atomos"; "a" meaning "no" or "not", and "tomos" meaning "cut". Therefore, the word "atomos" translates to "no cut". It was named such because it was a theoretical form of base matter, which could not be reduced (Or, cut) any further. However, in modern terminology, atom is a misnomer, as we now know atoms may be broken down further in to protons, neutrons and electrons; and all of which, with the exception of electrons, may be broken down further in to quarks.Atom means indivisible in Greek (atomos) so they named the atom atom because it is the smallest form of matter indivisible by chemical methods.
What is the original name of the electron?
H2O There are 2 names of 2 diffrent Atoms in that formuler. Hydrogen H and Oxogen O other atom names include Helium He , Litheum Le , Potasium K and Nitrogen N you can look up all the names of all the atoms on the periodic table, this will not only show you the names of the atoms, but there atomic numbers, classifications, atomic weight and much more. If you mean the names of subatomic particles then you have electrons, protons (positive charge)and neutrons (negitive charge). then you have Photons (particle of light), Gravatons (particle of gravity), quarks, higgs bosan and they are the only particles i know with out looking more up more. A Photon is an Anti-Gravaton and a Gravaton is an Anti-Photon. Acording to super symitery there is suposidley a Anti Anti Photon but i havent a clue how that bit works, i dont understand maths lol. Star Trek is 83% Actual Science and Science Therey the rest is what they make up and over exagirate. I first learnt most of this from Star Trek and i confirmed it all by reading the science websites. Imagine the shock i got when i found out that scientists had duplicated a Photon for just under half a second. Ok its not replication or transporter technology, but they are working on it lol.
Where did the word atom come from?
a greek term...that means uncuttableENThe word "atom" comes from the two Greek affixes, a-tom; "a" is the privative affix meaning deprivation; "tom" comes from the Greek "temno" (τέμνω) meaning "slit", "slash", "cut". Therefore, atom means the "non-slit" (further).Another example for the affix "tom" is the Greek word "tomos" (τόμος) which also comes from the aforementioned affix "tom" and means "volume" (of a book) exactly because the volume of a book is slit in its pages.GRΗ λέξη προέρχεται από τα δύο Ελληνικά προσφύματα, α-τομο· "α" είναι το στερητικό πρόσφυμα που σημαίνει στέρηση· "τομο" προέρχεται από το Ελληνικό "τέμνω" που σημαίνει "σχίζω", "κόβω", "διαιρώ". Επομένως, άτομο σημαίνει το "μη-τεμνόμενο" (άλλο, περισσότερο).Ένα άλλο παράδειγμα για το πρόσφυμα "τομο" είναι η Ελληνική λέξη "τόμος" που επίσης προέρχεται από το προαναφερθέν πρόσφυμα "τομο" και σημαίνει "τόμος" (βιβλίου) ακριβώς επειδή ο τόμος ενός βιβλίου έχει στις σχισμές τών σελίδων του.
