Atom

What do we mean by atom?

A part or particle considered to be an irreducible constituent of a specified system. noun

The irreducible, indestructible material unit postulated by ancient atomism. noun

An extremely small part, quantity, or amount. noun

The smallest unit of an element, having all the characteristics of that element and consisting of a very small and dense central nucleus containing protons and neutrons, surrounded by one or more shells of orbiting electrons. Atoms remain undivided in chemical reactions except for the donation, acceptance, or exchange of valence electrons. noun

This unit regarded as a source of nuclear energy. noun

To reduce to atoms; atomize.

An extremely minute particle of matter: a term used generally with certain philosophic or scientific limitations. noun

A particle of matter assumed not to be divided under the circumstances considered; a molecule. noun

In chem. and physics, the unit of matter; the smallest mass of an element that exists in any molecule. The number of kinds of atoms is the same as the number of the elements. All atoms of the same element have the same constant weight. They are for the most part combined with other atoms, either of the same or of a different kind, forming molecules, and are indivisible by chemical force. The atom is sometimes called the chemical unit, in distinction from the molecule or physical unit, the latter being the smallest particle of any kind of matter which can exhibit all the properties of that matter; but atom is also sometimes used as synonymous with molecule in this sense. noun

Hence Anything extremely small; a minute quantity: as, he has not an atom of sense. noun

The smallest division of time, equal to about ⅙ of a second. noun

Anything indivisible; an individual. noun

An ultimate indivisible particle of matter. noun

An ultimate particle of matter not necessarily indivisible; a molecule. noun

A constituent particle of matter, or a molecule supposed to be made up of subordinate particles. noun

The smallest particle of matter that can enter into combination; one of the elementary constituents of a molecule. noun

The smallest possible amount of matter which still retains its identity as a chemical element, now known to consist of a nucleus surrounded by electrons.

(history of science) A hypothetical particle posited by Greek philosophers as an ultimate and indivisible component of matter.

The smallest, indivisible constituent part or unit of something.

In logical atomism, a fundamental fact that cannot be further broken down.

The smallest medieval unit of time, equal to fifteen ninety-fourths of a second.

A mote of dust in a sunbeam.

A very small amount; a whit.

(Lisp) An individual number or symbol, as opposed to a list; a scalar value.

A non-zero member of a Boolean algebra that is not a union of any other elements. Or, a non-zero member of a Boolean lattice that has only zero below it.

An element of a set that is not itself a set; an urelement.

(usually capitalised as "Atom") A member of an age group division in hockey for ten- to 11-year-olds.
