Depending on what type of nanoparticles the vary in image and size, a single nanometer (nm).
For example, the particle size typically observed in colloidal silver has been measured in the range of 5 to 200 nanometers. Such measurements are performed using a Photon Correlation Spectrometer (PCS) that can measure down to 1 nm although there are other types of equipment, this is what has been traditionally used.
A single particle one nanometer in diameter would consist of 31 silver atoms, and a 5 nm diameter particle would be about 3900 atoms while a 20 nm diameter particle would contain about 250,000 silver atoms, so a 300 nm particle could have 75 million to 250 million atoms.

Microscopic particles of matter that are smaller than a molecule?
atoms
Is there any germs or bacterias that are smaller than atom?
Yes, ALL matter has atoms. If it exsits, it has atoms.
Is molecule the smallest particle of matter?
No, atoms are not the smallest particles of matter. Atoms are the smallest pieces of a chemical element, but atoms are made of even smaller particles. We know that neutrons, protons and electrons make up atoms. And there are even smaller particles when we begin to look at what is called the particle zoo.
What is smaller protons or atoms?
Protons are smaller than atoms. Protons are subatomic particles that are found within the nucleus of an atom along with neutrons. Atoms are made up of protons, neutrons, and electrons.
What are smaller than cells but larger than atoms?
molecules
Why is matter continuous in form?
It isn't. It only looks continuous (sometimes), because the individual pieces (the atoms) are much smaller than anything we can see.

Microscopic particles of matter that are smaller than molecules?
atoms, then protons and neutrons smaller, then electrons smaller again. Atoms are not microscopic though (unless you consider a very strong electron microscope, and at this, it is a push)

Can compound microscopes see atoms?
No. No matter how powerful an optical microscope is, it can never be used to see atoms. Atoms are smaller than the wavelength of visible light. You can, however, view atoms using an electron microscope.
Is an atom bigger than a mole?
An atom is a component of matter; mole is a unit for the amount of substance in SI. Of course a mole of atoms is bigger than a single atom.
Are particles smaller then atoms?
particle is a general term. subatomic particles are smaller than atoms. dirt particles, for example, are much bigger than atoms
Are atoms smaller than a small pebble?
Much smaller.
Are metals ions larger or smaller than neutral atoms they came from?
Metal ions are smaller than the neutral atoms they came from.
What is smaller protons or atoms?
Protons are smaller than atoms. Protons are subatomic particles that are found within the nucleus of an atom along with neutrons. Atoms are made up of protons, neutrons, and electrons.
