at the moment, the smallest thing in the universe known to man is the neutrino, with a mass of less than 0. this is the opposite of an electron. electrons are one of the three main things that make up atoms.

∙ 15y agoNo, an atom is not the smallest particle in the world.
Atoms are made up of protons, neutrons, and electrons. And it is speculated that those particles are made up of smaller ones called quarks.

∙ 14y agoAn atom is not the smallest particle of matter. Atoms are made up of protons, neutrons and electrons, all of which are (obviously!) smaller than the atom itself. Electrons are regarded as fundamental particles, but protons and neutrons are believed to be composed of three quarks, held together by gluons. All of these particles are millions of times smaller than atoms, and there is no guarantee that they don't comprise even smaller particles...

∙ 13y agono not at all. atoms are made up of subatomic particles like electrons and protons and neutrons.
and then sub atomic are made from things called quarks

Which terms refer to the smallest pure substances elements and isotopes mixtures and alloys metals and nonmetals molecules and atoms?
An atom is the smallest particle possible of a pure substance. A molecule is the smallest possible particle of a compound.
What is the smallest amount in an element?
The smallest quantity of an element is an atom.
What is the smallest and largest atom on the periodic table?
Smallest atom is hydrogen Largest atom is Francium
What is the smallest element?
ATOM
What are the smallest particle of an element?
The smallest particle of an element would be an atom. Any smaller and it would not be an element, but something more basic. Atoms are made of Protons, Neutrons, and Electrons. Protons and Neutrons are made of Quarks, Leptons, and Bosons.
Is the atom the smallest object in the universe?
The nucleus inside the atom would be the smallest.
Smallest amount of matter in an object?
An atom
The smallest possible part of a material such as copper is called?
An atom.
Why it is not possible to find the absolute mass of an atom?
It is the smallest particle
What object is composed of more than one atom?
Every object you see is composed of more than one atom. You can not see the largest atom with naked eye. In fact you may have to spend years to count the atoms in the smallest object that you can see.
Which is the smallest atom?
The smallest atom is hydrogen.
What is the smallest object that can be seen under an electron microscope?
Down to 1 Angstrom = 0,000 000 000 1 meter. The smallest "object" That can be seen under an electron microscope is most likely the electronAnother opinionThe atom is the smallest!

What is the smallest amount in an element?
The smallest quantity of an element is an atom.
How are an atom an element and an isotope different from each other?
An element is a class of substances An atom is the smallest possible piece of an element. An isotope is an electrically charged atom.
Is the smallest atom hydrogen?
yes the smallest atom is hydrogen
