The correct answer is Atomos.

  • Democritus proposed the Greek word atomos, which means uncuttable, in 400 BC.
  • Atoms are basic building blocks of matter, and cannot be chemically subdivided by ordinary means.
  • Atoms are composed of three types of particles viz. protons, neutrons, and electrons.
  • The nucleus of an atom consists of protons (each with a positive charge +1) and neutrons (zero charges).

Additional Information

  • Atomic Number (Z) → Number of Protons (or of electrons) in an atom of an element.
  • Mass Number (A) → {Number of Protons (or Electrons) + Number of Neutrons} in an atom of an element.
  • Atomic or Molecular Mass → of times one atom or molecule of substance is heavier than 1/12 of carbon atoms.
