yes (but only in the case of ionic compounds).
For a substance the term is molecule, for an element the term is atom.
A molecule is the smallest particle of a "compound" being that compounds are made up of more than one atom. The smallest particle of any "chemical element" that retains its properties would be the atom.
No, Not true.
The smallest particle of a covalent compound is a molecule, which consists of two or more atoms that are bonded together by sharing electrons.
This is a molecule or an ion.
The molecule is the smallest particle of a compound that retains its chemical properties. A molecule consists of two or more atoms bonded together. Each molecule has a unique set of properties determined by the types of atoms present and their arrangement.
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.
The smallest particle of a covalent compound that shows the properties of that compound is a molecule.
Molecule is the smallest particle that still holds the same compound.
a molecule
The smallest particle of a covalent compound that shows the properties of that compound is a molecule. In a covalent compound, atoms share electrons to form stable bonds, and the smallest unit that retains the chemical properties of the compound is the molecule, which consists of at least two atoms bonded together.
A molecule is the smallest particle of a molecular compound.
