An atom is the basic particle of an element. Atoms are considered to be the foundation of chemistry.
A molecule is the smallest particle of a "compound" being that compounds are made up of more than one atom. The smallest particle of any "chemical element" that retains its properties would be the atom.
False elements are made up of atomsFalse.
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.
An atom is the basic particle from which elements are made :D
Molecule
The first synthetic element to be made by a particle accelerator was technetium
A molecule, usually.
An atom is the simplest particle of an element that still retains that element's properties. It consists of a nucleus made of protons and (usually) neutrons surrounded by "clouds" of electrons. A molecule is a particle made up of two or more atoms that bond together by sharing electrons. A molecule can contain just one element (as in O2, a molecule with two oxygen atoms) or two or more elements ( as in CH4, 1 carbon atom, 4 hydrogen atoms).
Nitrogen is not made out of anything, it is an element and therefore as basic as it gets.Two nitrogen atoms make up a nitrogen molecule.
A molecule
a molecule can be a compound if it is made of more than one type of atom.
