Scientist who coined the term atom?

Answer 1

The term atomos is Greek and means, roughly, "undivisable." It simply refers to anything that cannot be further split into any part. The modern concept of the Atom was introduced by Leucippus, further expounded by Democritus, and defined again by Lucretius. Lucretius is commonly given credit for the atom as we know it today.

As for the discovery of the properties of the atom, John Dalton and his assistant found the weight of an atom.

Answer 2

Democritus is credited with discovering the term atom which comes from the Greek word, atomos, which means unbreakable. He came up with this term around 400 B.C. but his ideas were largely discredited in favor of the cyclical idea of matter at the time proposed by Aristotle.
