We can see atoms but only through very powerful scanning tunnel microscopes and we can only see their outer shell and not whats inside. With the aid of nanothechnology we can now even arrange atoms. But we are a long time of seeing atoms beyond their shell.
One atom is too small to see. A helium atom is the smallest type of atom.
Phosphorus is an element that exists as individual atoms. It is not a molecule.
The oxidation state of an individual sulfur atom in SO4 is +6. In the sulfate ion (SO4^2-), each oxygen atom has an oxidation state of -2, for a total of -8. Since the overall charge of the sulfate ion is -2, the sulfur atom must have an oxidation state of +6 to balance out the charge.
You are familiar with a microscope, which lets you see things with "micro" meter resolution. A micrometer is one millionth of a meter. Just like that, a nanoscope lets you see with "nano" meter resolution. A nanometer is one billionth of a meter. An atom is typically one tenth of a nanometer so; an atomscope lets you see things with atomic resolution, which is one ten-billionth of a meter.
You cannot see an atom visually with a microscope. They're smaller (quite a bit smaller, actually) than visual light waves. The instrument that's used to "see" atoms is called a scanning tunneling microscope, but it doesn't use visible light, it uses electrical potentials and the pictures are generated by computer processing of the data.
No there is no technology to make individual atoms visible

No, H2O2 is not an atom; it is a molecule. H2O2, or hydrogen peroxide, is composed of two hydrogen atoms and two oxygen atoms bonded together. Each hydrogen atom is an individual atom, and each oxygen atom is an individual atom.
you cant see an atom!

Yes, you do. You cannot see an atom with the naked eye; it is too small.
This depends on the individual Atom.

The smallest quantity of an element is an atom.
An atom is very small the human eye can not see an atom that is what makes it small.
At the level of individual atoms, no atom has color.
If we were small enough to see the individual parts of an atom, outside the atom would be more space. As we get larger, heading back to our own size, at a certain scale we would see the atom's vibration and ripples in space turn into the molecular boundary. As we continue to return to our normal size, we would see the billions of atoms in a cubic mm. As we reach our normal size, we would see the normal world which is made up from the countless number of molecules/atoms arraigned in incredible combinations.
