Atomicity (database systems) is a property of database transactions which are guaranteed to either completely occur, or have no effects. In Database systems atomicity (or atomicness) is one of the ACID transaction properties
In chemistry, atomicity is a synonym for valence. Chemistry (from Egyptian kēme (chem meaning "earth") is the Science concerned with the composition structure and properties In Chemistry, valence, also known as valency or valency number, is a measure of the number of Chemical bonds formed by the Atoms
Atomicity may also refer to:
- Linearizability, in computer science, especially parallel algorithms, an operation appears to occur at a single instant between its invocation and its response
- Atomicity, a property of an S-expression, in a symbolic language like Lisp, to describe whether an expression is made of atoms (numbers or symbols) or is a list of S-expressions
- Atomicity, an element of orthogonality in a component-based system
- Atomicity in order theory. In Concurrent programming, an operation is atomic, or linearizable, if it appears to take effect instantaneously The term S-expression or sexp (where S stands for symbolic refers to a convention for representing Semi-structured data in human-readable textual form In Mathematics, two Vectors are orthogonal if they are Perpendicular, i See Atomic (order theory). In the mathematical field of Order theory, given two elements a and b of a Partially ordered set, one says that b covers a
