'Atom' basically means "indivisible unit." They were initially thought to be, but as it turns out atoms are divisible.
No, atomic means having to do with atoms.
Because, divorced from the origin of terms, I find that popular consensus has a tendency to rest upon misunderstanding and fallacious assumptions.
If you use words as they were used in the past instead of their current meaning I guarantee misunderstandings will occur.
