atoms are not invisible. they are just too small to be seen by the naked eye.

anonymous · Answer

indivisible - unable to be divided or separated.
 
Nuclear reactors uses fission or the splitting of atoms to produce energy. So the term indivisible does not apply.

i think they say indivisible... as in you cant make it any smaller.. Idk if your teacher was serious when they asked u this.. cuz this topic is very debatable.. yes and i must second coolsday's comment. Physicist are coming up with new sub particles that make up the atom.. So in essence atom can be divided.
