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 is material made out of?
Material is made of atoms and molecules; molecules are made of atoms. Atoms are made of even smaller particles such as protons, neutrons, mesons and electrons. Protons, neutrons and mesons are made of even smaller particles named quarks. Research is ongoing to find what electrons and quarks are made of.
How are atoms and ions connected?
Atoms are neutral particles. Ions are charged atoms.
Is gas made of tiny particles?
Yes, everything is made of tiny particles - if it is an element then the particles are atoms of that element, if it is a compound then the particles are molecules composed of atoms of the elements which make up the compound.
Do alpha particles and helium atoms have same electrons?
No. The difference between them is that helium atoms have electrons, and alpha particles don't.
Hat are charged particles the form when atoms gain or lose electrons?
What are charged particles that form when atoms gain or lose electrons
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.
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
What are molecules and their subatomic particles?
Molecules contain atoms and these atoms contain subatomic particles.
Are subatomic particles found inside atoms?
Yes, atoms contain subatomic particles.

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.
Tiny particles that comprise an element?
atoms
