Discreteness
discontinuity; the opposite of continuity. For example, a discrete change in a quantity with respect to time is the change taking place over particular intervals (in jumps); the system of whole numbers (as opposed to the system of real numbers) is discrete. In physics and chemistry discreteness signifies the granular structure of matter, its atomic nature. Want to thank TFD for its existence?
