Hi Vasilis, not as a noun.
Impossible = αδύνατον as an adjective and it can be only neutral.
E.g. Είναι αδύνατο(ν) (impersonal verbal expression) = It is impossible
Είναι αδύνατος/αδύνατο (noun) = He is thin/It is thin (as neutral noun, e.g. when referring to an animal)
Same for δυνατός. (e.g. Είναι δυνατόν is different from Είναι δυνατός/είναι δυνατό)
Impossible is not always neutral. You can also say for example "Αυτός ο συνδυασμός είναι αδύνατος" meaning "this combination is impossible". So "impossible" is αδύνατος, -η, -ο(ν).
Αδύνατος comes from the ancient greek word "δυνατός" which means powerful with the α- in the beginning showing lack of. So α-δύνατος means someone without power or something that is impossible to happen or thin (see https://el.wiktionary.org/wiki/%CE%B1%CE%B4%CF%8D%CE%BD%CE%B1%CF%84%CE%BF%CF%82)
But we also say "Αυτός ο κωδικός είναι αδύναμος" meaning "this password is weak".
Αδύναμος comes from the ancient Greek word "δύναμις" which means power and the α- in the begining showing lack of. So α-δύναμος means someone without power (physical, constitutional, fianancial, e.t.c.) or in other words weak. (see https://el.wiktionary.org/wiki/%CE%B1%CE%B4%CF%8D%CE%BD%CE%B1%CE%BC%CE%BF%CF%82)
So we say:
"Νιώθει αδύναμος από την αρρώστια" = he feels weak due to illness.
"Είναι αδύνατος από την αρρώστια" = He is thin because of the illness. (αδυνατίζω = I lose weight)
Also
"Ο συνδυασμός είναι αδύναμος". = The combination is weak.
"Ο συνδυασμός είναι αδύνατος" = The combination is impossible.
