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.

Groups of atoms bonded to carbon chains are known as?
Functional
Are atoms divided up into groups according to color?
No, atoms are not divided up into groups according to color. Atoms are the basic building blocks of matter and are so small that they cannot be seen with the naked eye. They are typically represented by symbols in the periodic table based on their chemical properties.
What is a substance formed by an electrostatic attraction between atoms or groups of atoms of opposite charge?
This is an ionic bond.
Are atoms found in groups or separated?
Yes, both.The vast majority of atoms like to group with other atoms, but a few (e.g. Noble Gasses) like to be separated and alone.
How many atoms are in ca(h2po4)2?
In one formula unit of calcium dihydrogen phosphate, Ca(H₂PO₄)₂, there are a total of 13 atoms. This includes 1 calcium (Ca) atom, 4 hydrogen (H) atoms from each of the two dihydrogen phosphate groups (2 × 2 = 4), 2 phosphorus (P) atoms from the two phosphate groups (2 × 1 = 2), and 8 oxygen (O) atoms from the two phosphate groups (2 × 4 = 8). Therefore, the total count is 1 + 4 + 2 + 8 = 15 atoms.
Which atoms or groups of atoms are always found in sulphates?

Ions are atoms or groups of atoms that have ____.?
Ions are atoms that have a postive or negative charge because they have loss or gained negative particles (electons).
Are atoms divided up into groups according to color?

What Symmetric carbon atom?
A symmetric carbon atom is a carbon atom that is bonded to identical groups or atoms on all sides, leading to a high degree of symmetry in its molecular structure. This symmetry can affect the reactivity and physical properties of the molecule in which the carbon atom is present.
