Respuesta :

The statement, The word atom comes from a Greek word that means “able to duplicate”, is false. The greek word for atom is atomos. The a- in atom means “not” and –tom means “cut”. So it is not ot cut or it cannot be cut. It is common definition is indivisibility. This definition is defined by the philosopher Democritus. He observed that as he cut the sugar cube into smaller fraction, it reduces to nothing that cannot be seen in the eye. And so he proposed that definition.

Answer:

False

Explanation:

But when it comes to the word atom, we have to go to ancient Greece of 400 B.C. And there was a brilliant philosopher named Democritus, and he proposed the Greek word atomos, which means uncuttable. And so as he explained, all matter was eventually reducible to discrete, small particles or atomos.
