Strictly speaking, no one has ever seen an atom. It's not possible, since atoms are much, much smaller than the wavelength of visible light. The first imaging of individual atoms was done in the late 1970s. By the early 1980s, scanning tunneling microscopes were commercially available (and relatively inexpensive, as high-precision lab equipment goes).

How can atom be seen?
No nobody has ever seen an atom or atoms, though many people/scientists claim they have, NOBODY HAS EVER SEEN AN ATOM!
The fingerprint of an atom is seen in its?
bright line spectrum
What does a negative atom look like?
there no such thing as a negative atom! if an atom receives a charge, it becomes an ion! it's basically an positive kernel and a negative electron cloud which has a greater charge than the kernel! Secondly, it doesn't make a lot of sense to ask what an atom "looks like", since they're too small to be seen. (Even with a microscope. Atoms are too small to be seen by visible light period.)
What new particles have been identified in the structure of atom?
1. Discuss recent developments in the structure of the atom. What new particles have been identified?
When a chlorine atom becomes an ion has it been oxidized or reduced?
A chlorine atom gains an electron when it becomes an ion. This means it has been reduced because there is a decrease in oxidation state from 0 to -1.
What is the instrument that first took a picture of an atom?
So far, no picture of an atom has ever been taken. Atoms are fundamental particles which have only been visualized and not seen.
How can atom be seen?
No nobody has ever seen an atom or atoms, though many people/scientists claim they have, NOBODY HAS EVER SEEN AN ATOM!
Has human ever seen a single atom?
No nobody has ever seen an atom or atoms, though many people/scientists claim they have, NOBODY HAS EVER SEEN AN ATOM!
Which cannot be seen?
Atom
Who saw an atom for the first time?
No one has ever seen an atom
Can sub shells be seen in an atom?
NO!
Something which cannot be seen?
Atom
Why atom cannot be seen with naked eye?
The atom can't be seen with naked eyes because the size of an atom is beyond our imagination and is lesser than 1/100th of an ant .
The fingerprint of an atom is seen in its?
bright line spectrum
Of what are atoms composed-?
Protons, electrons and neutrons are what make up an atom. Atoms are so small they cannot even been seen under a microscope.
Where are electrons of an atom found?
On the outer edge of an atom on the rings of it if youv'e ever seen a picture of it before.
Can scientist see an atom?
Whether or not scientists have ever seen inside an atom depends on your definition of the word, "seen." Scientists have never been able to look at inside an atom with a tool like a microscope and look inside an atom with their necked eyes. They have been able to use particle accelerators and find out all sorts of things about the insides of atoms. They have seen how electrons are in orbitals around the nucleus. They discovered that protons and neutrons each consist of 3 quarks and 3 gluons. They discovered how they are arranged in the nucleus. They can hit millions of atoms with millions of protons or electrons. They can tell by the patterns they produce what is in the nucleus or in the orbitals around the nucleus. They use supercomputers to make sense of the data. I could not do a billion equations.
