7 0

Explanation:

The word atom is coined from ancient greek word atomos and it means uncuttable.

Democritus coined the word and he believed that an atom is the smallest indivisible particle of any matter.

He suggested that all matter is made up of atom and atoms cannot be broken down into smaller pieces.

This is not accurate today because we know that atoms contains very small particle of proton, neutrons and electrons.
