This is an age old question. Philosophers and scientists have theorized for years, and research is still being conducted at places such as CERN in Switzerland. Google the term "God Particle". For the purposes of a high-school or first year college course, it is an atom. But know that this is not true. Atoms or composed of electrons, protons, and neutrons, which are all also composed of components, and so forth.
Quarks and Leptons. Then protons and electrons. Then atoms. Then molecules.
An atom is the subunit, which contain the same number of protons and electrons but may vary in the number of neutrons.
quarks and leptons ....according to this website: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Matter#Quarks_and_leptons_definition
Hydrogen is the simplest element.
Matter & Substances are related because a substance is a matter IGuess ... of matter is not a substance because a matter may include many many substances.
ALL substances are matter.
The fundamental unit of matter is the atom. During deconstruction of substances, it is the unit that cannot be broken down further by routine methods or common tools. With the exception of a very few very extreme conditions atoms of elements are understood to be more or less immutable and indivisible.
the meaning of elements is any of the fundamental substances thant consist of atoms of only one kind and that singly or in combination constitute all matter ..... :)
Some people divide matter into pure substances and mixtures. Pure substances are elements and compounds. Mixtures include homogeneous and heterogeneous mixtures. Some people divide matter into homogeneous matter and heterogeneous matter. Homogeneous matter includes pure substances and homogeneous mixtures (solutions). Heterogeneous matter is heterogeneous mixtures.
No. The most fundamental parts of matter are: quarks and electrons.
quarks
Element are the pure substances that contain atom of same kind. Atoms are fundamental particles of matter.
