tomos "a cutting," from
temnein "to cut." An ancient term of philosophical speculation (in Leucippus, Democritus), revived 1805 by British chemist Dalton.

Atomic energy first recorded 1906;
atomic bomb first recorded 1914 in writings of H.G. Wells, who thought of it as a bomb "that would continue to explode indefinitely."
Atom bomb is from 1945;
Atomic Age is from 1945.
"When you can drop just one atomic bomb and wipe out Paris or Berlin, war will have become monstrous and impossible." [S. Strunsky, "Yale Review," January 1917]
Atomize "reduce a liquid to a fine mist" is from 1865; sense of "to destroy with atomic weapons" is from 1945.
