The smallest particle in the atom is the electron.
The smallest particle of an element that contains all the chemical properties of that element is an atom. Each element is made up of atoms that have a unique number of protons, defining its chemical properties.
The smallest chemical element is hydrogen. It has an atomic number of 1 and consists of just one proton in its nucleus.
What remains constant is the total of all types of energy.
An average hydrogen atom consists of 1 proton and 1 electron. The 1 proton accounts for nearly all of that atom's mass. The 1 electron has only about 1/2000th the mass of the proton. That's about 0.0005 of the total atomic mass.
A proton (H+) is the smallest particle with a positive charge.
Proton numbers equal the atomic number and is an identifier of a chemical element.
An "element" is not a subatomic particle. Your question makes no sense and is therefore unanswerable.Another answer:Since an element is not a subatomic particle, the only answer can be a proton.
This particle is the proton.
A proton (H+) is the smallest particle with a positive charge.
protons, no. of protons is equal to the atomic number of an element.
An atom is the smallest particle of an element that has the properties of that element. The atom consists of a certain amount of electrons, protons and usually neutrons. The amount of each of these sub-atomic particles is what makes an element. No Sub-Atomic Particles have any characterisitics of an element. It is the collective arrangement of electrons and protons (and usually neutrons) which gives an element its characteristics. An atom is the smallest particle that has elemental characteristics.
Well I'm not sure if I understand your question but it's divided up like this Molecule, then Atom then, neutrons electrons and protons. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The smallest unit of any element is an atom of that element. The smallest unit of any compound is a molecule of that compound (molecules are made of atoms)
