atom is a basic unit of matter

maitreya uvāca caramaḥ sad-viśeṣāṇām
aneko 'saḿyutaḥ sadā paramāṇuḥ sa vijñeyo
nṛṇām aikya-bhramo yataḥ

Bhagabad purana3-11-1

The material manifestation's ultimate particle, which is indivisible and not formed into a body, is called the atom. It exists always as an invisible identity, even after the dissolution of all forms. The material body is but a combination of such atoms, but it is misunderstood by the common man.

sata eva padārthasya svarūpāvasthitasya yat
kaivalyaḿ parama-mahān aviśeṣo nirantaraḥ

Bhagabad purana 3-11-2

Atoms are the ultimate state of the manifest universe. When they stay in their own forms without forming different bodies, they are called the unlimited oneness. There are certainly different bodies in physical forms, but the atoms themselves form the complete manifestation.
