atomicity
Atoms per molecule
Atomicity refers to the property of being indivisible or unbreakable into smaller parts.
In chemistry, it denotes the number of atoms in a molecule of an element.
In computing and database systems, atomicity is a crucial concept describing operations that either complete entirely or fail completely, with no partial results—if any part fails, the whole transaction rolls back as if it never happened.
The database guarantees atomicity so your bank transfer won't leave money in limbo.
