Why is it masculine?
Atomes is masculine in French. While it does derive from Latin "atomus" (from Greek "atomos"), the gender is NOT explained by the Latin "-us" ending, since French dropped most Latin grammatical endings during its evolution from Latin. Instead, "atome" is masculine because it was adopted into French as a masculine noun during the scientific terminology development of the 17th-18th centuries, likely influenced by the pattern of other scientific terms and the masculine gender of related French words in that semantic field.
