No. Elements are made up of smaller elements called atoms.
An atom of that element.
An element is made by atoms. smallest part of element is atom.
an atom is the smallest unit of an element, but an element is a pure substance
The smallest part of a substance that still has the characteristics of that substance is called a molecule.
If it is an element, then the smallest particle that retains the characteristics of the element is an atom. If it is a diatomic element, then the smallest particle that retains the characteristics of the element is a molecule. If it is a molecular compound, then the smallest particle that retains the characteristics of the compound is a molecule. If it is an ionic compound, the smallest particle that retains characteristics of the compound is a formula unit.
Element
For a substance the term is molecule, for an element the term is atom.
If that substance is an element, the smallest part is the atom which, if broken down further into atomic particles, loses its identity.
The smallest particle of a substance that still retains all the chemical properties of that substance is called a molecule. In the case of elements, the smallest particle is an atom, which retains the unique properties of that element. Molecules are made up of atoms bonded together in specific arrangements that determine the chemical behavior of the substance. Therefore, the smallest particle of a substance that is still that substance does indeed possess all the properties of that substance.
The smallest part of any chemical element that can exist is an atom of that element. The smallest part of a chemical compound that can exist is a molecule of that compound.
A molecule if it is a compound, an atom if it is an element and a formula unit if it is an ionic crystal.
A 'compound'.
