Answer:
First we need to understand this:-
The term "atom" comes from the Greek word for indivisible, because it was once thought that atoms were the smallest things in the universe and could not be divided. We now know that atoms are made up of three particles: protons, neutrons and electrons — which are composed of even smaller particles, such as quarks.
Misconception
John Dalton
370 BC, and the atomic theory developed by British scientist and educator, John Dalton (1766 - 1844). One of the tenets of Dalton's and Democritus' atomic theories stated that atoms are indivisible.
