No, this is a misconception. Atoms are the smallest particles which have the same properties of an element. Smaller still, the nucleus of the atom, it contains the protons and neutrons of the atom, and electrons orbit around the nucleus. Protons and neutrons are made out of even smaller particle, quarks.
