Atoms are not invisible, they're just too small to see individually. (Actually they are invisible. They are in a light wave that we cannot see without special equipment no matter how far we "zoom in.")

We can see objects because they reflect light that enters our eyes. Atoms are much smaller than the wavelength of visible light, so they do not individually interact with light in a way that we can see them. Instead, atoms interact collectively to give objects their overall color and appearance.

There is no such thing. It is just something scientist made up. You can't see something that's not there.
