atomic
Atomic refers to something related to, characteristic of, or constituting atoms, which are the smallest particles of a chemical element that can exist and that retains the properties of that element. It can also refer to a form of energy generated by manipulating the structure of the atom, often through nuclear fission or fusion. In computer science, it also refers to operations or systems that are indivisible, unchangeable, or cannot be interrupted.

The New Hacker's Dictionary
atomic
[from Gk. atomos, indivisible] 1. Indivisible; cannot be split up. For example, an instruction may be said to do several things ‘atomically’, i.e., all the things are done immediately, and there is no chance of the instruction being half-completed or of another being interspersed. Used esp. to convey that an operation cannot be screwed up by interrupts. “This routine locks the file and increments the file's semaphore atomically.” 2. [primarily techspeak] Guaranteed to complete successfully or not at all, usu. refers to database transactions. If an error prevents a partially-performed transaction from proceeding to completion, it must be “backed out”, as the database must not be left in an inconsistent state.Computer usage, in either of the above senses, has none of the connotations that ‘atomic’ has in mainstream English (i.e. of particles of matter, nuclear explosions etc.).
