    Atomicity - An atom cannot be subdivided further. So should be the transaction.
    Consider a bank transfer account. In that, A transfers 10 to B. So, database'ically',
    Operation #1: 10 is subtracted from A.
    Operation #2: 10 is added to B.
    Atomicity is both these two operations should happen or none should happen. It cannot be only Operation #1 happened or Operation #2 happened. ๐Ÿ˜€ Both the operations happened is called a Transaction. ๐Ÿ˜€
