Question
Why is it not possible to see an atom even with the most powerful microscope?

Answer

Atoms are the building blocks of nature. They are tiniest particles in nature and optical microscopes cannot magnify the image of such a tiny object, so that becomes visible to us. It is possible to watch an atom under an electron microscope.
