∙ 13y agoNo. The individual components of the atom are also considered matter.
As for what the smallest particle is, we have gone past the electron and are now at the level of a quark. In 20 years, the answer may probably change again as we get better and better at seeing deeper into what makes matter.

∙ 13y agoNo, an atom is not the smallest particle with mass. The atom is made up of smaller particles (protons, neutrons and electrons), and these also have mass. Further, protons and neutrons are made up of fundamental particles called quarks. Quarks and electrons are fundamental particles, and are smaller than an atom.

∙ 13y agowell the smallest atom is the solid or crystal to my knowledge
Wiki User
∙ 15y agoProtons and neutrons are made up of 3 quarks each. Hence a quark is the smallest particle in an atomic nucleus
Wiki User
∙ 14y agoThere are somethings that are smaller than atoms (e.g. the electrons, protons and neutrons that make up the atoms) but atoms are fundamental (basic) particles that make up everything else.

∙ 12y agoThe atom is the smallest particle of an element that retains the chemical and nuclear properties of the element.

The smallest particle in the atom is the electron.
What is the smallest particle a substance?
An atom is the smallest particle of a substance.
What in an atom?
An atom is a particle, the smallest particle that can exist by itself.
What is the smallest particle of the element iron that can still be classified as iron?
An iron atom is the smallest iron particle that still has the properties of iron.
The smallest particle of an element that retains its identity in a chemical reaction?
An atom is the smallest particle of an element that can be uniquely identified as that specific element.Note that this question is different from asking "What is the smallest particle in an atom?" (see related question below). Atoms are composed of smaller particles (protons, electrons, and neutrons), but the smallest thing that has the identity of a specific element is the atom.The smallest particle of an element that still retains all that element's properties is called an ATOM.
How do you explain an atom?
atom is the smallest particle of matter
If atom are smallest particle than why atom bomb are getting blast?
Atoms are NOT the smallest particle- they are the smallest COMPLETE particle. In an atomic reaction, the atoms are broken apart, and release energy.
What is the smallest divisible particle?
the atom
