Summary: A mapping \(f:X\to Y\) between continua \(X\) and \(Y\) is said to be atomic at a subcontinuum \(K\) of the domain \(X\) provided that \(f(K)\) is nondegenerate and \(K=f^{-1}(f(K))\). The set of subcontinua at which a given mapping is atomic, considered as a subspace of the hyperspace of all subcontinua of \(X\), is studied. The introduced concept is applied to get new characterizations of atomic and monotone mappings. Some related questions are asked.
