Are atoms divisible or indivisible? Explain.

(N/A) Historically,the term 'atom' was derived from the Greek word 'atomos',meaning 'indivisible'. According to Dalton's atomic theory,atoms were considered the smallest,indivisible particles of matter.
However,in modern physics,it is established that atoms are divisible. Atoms consist of a central nucleus surrounded by electrons.
The nucleus itself is composed of protons and neutrons.
Furthermore,protons and neutrons are composed of even smaller fundamental particles known as quarks. Therefore,atoms are divisible into subatomic particles.
