The 'tom' part comes from the Greek, where it means to cut. Thus tomography, which is a picture made up from several slices. And tome for a bound book.
A microtome is a laboratory device for making very thin slices.
Atom means not cut, and this was the Greeks view of the smallest particle. They gave the name atom.
What else can I help you with?
What are ubatomic particles?
I'm not sure what "ubatomic particles" are. If you may be referring to subatomic particles, these are particles that are smaller than atoms, such as electrons, protons, and neutrons. They are the building blocks of atoms.
What are atoms composed of?
Atoms are composed of three subatomic particles: protons, neutrons, and electrons. Protons and neutrons are located in the nucleus, while electrons orbit around the nucleus. These particles give atoms their unique characteristics and determine their properties.
How many particles are in sucrose?
One molecule of sucrose is composed of 12 carbon atoms, 22 hydrogen atoms, and 11 oxygen atoms, totaling 45 atoms. This means that there are 45 particles in a single molecule of sucrose.
A matter is made up of tiny particles called?
Atoms which can be further classified as protons, electrons and neutrons.
Are elements particles?
yes
Who was the scientist who named the process by which atoms produce energy and particles?
marie currie
Are particles in molecules?
Yes. Molecules are composed of atoms. Atoms are composed of particles.
Atoms are made up of blank particles?
atoms are made of subatomic particles.
Which greek philosopher named the atom?
The Greek philosopher who named the atom was Democritus. He was one of the first to propose that matter was made up of indivisible particles called atoms.
Are particles smaller then atoms?
particle is a general term. subatomic particles are smaller than atoms. dirt particles, for example, are much bigger than atoms
Are subatomic particles found inside atoms?
Yes, atoms contain subatomic particles.
What are molecules and their subatomic particles?
Molecules contain atoms and these atoms contain subatomic particles.
What is the difference between particles and atoms?
Particles are tiny units of matter that make up atoms. Atoms are the smallest units of an element that retain its chemical properties. Particles can refer to subatomic particles like protons, neutrons, and electrons, while atoms are made up of these particles.
Are particles and atoms the same thing?
No, particles and atoms are not the same thing. Atoms are the basic building blocks of matter, while particles refer to smaller components that make up atoms, such as protons, neutrons, and electrons.
Can atoms be made of smaller particles?
Yes - all atoms are made of smaller particles. Those particles are protons, neutrons, and electrons.
Does particles have particles?
In a way they do, but even smaller "particles" are called atoms.
Are particles and atoms the same?
No, particles and atoms are not the same. Atoms are the basic building blocks of matter, composed of protons, neutrons, and electrons. Particles, on the other hand, refer to any tiny piece of matter, including atoms, subatomic particles, and other small entities.
