There are sub-atomic particles such as protons and electrons, which are part of the atom.
Atoms are the smallest unit of an element that retains the chemical properties of that element. They are comprised of protons, neutrons, and electrons, and any smaller subatomic particles would not maintain the characteristics unique to that element.
An atom of an element is usually smaller than a molecule of a compound. Molecules are made by bonding 2 or more atoms, of one or more elements. The molecule is the smallest particle of a compound.
Every atom of one element has different no. of electrons than any atom of any other element.
A fluorine atom has a higher electronegativity than an atom of any other element.

It has a different amount of protons, nuetrons and electrons than any other element's atom.
The center of an atom of any element is the nucleus.
No. An Element is an atom. An atom is the smallest particle. Atoms cannot be broken down into smaller things. Ever.
It has a different amount of protons, nuetrons and electrons than any other element's atom.
An atom is the basic unit of matter . It is virtually the smallest thing that exists and has the properties of an element . The size of an element can't really be measured . However , any amount of an element that consists of more than one atom would , of course , be larger than an atom . By definition , a molecule consists of 2 or more atoms , so no , an atom is not bigger than a molecule . (of course , this is taking in the average size of an atom . Atoms of extremely heavy elements , such as Uranium , would be comparable to the size of a molecule of hydrogen (h2) which is a very small molecule .
The smallest particle of any element is an atom, which consists of protons, neutrons, and electrons. These subatomic particles are the building blocks of matter and cannot be further broken down into smaller components without losing the fundamental properties of the element.
The smallest particle of any substance that maintains elemental characteristics and identity is an atom. Conversely a pure elemental sample if divided indefinitely into smaller pieces would ultimately yield the atom.
