Matter doesn't really have a shape of its own. Matter is the substance within any object. And an atom is a hypothetical particle of matter and is extremely small.

Is nucleus smaller than atom?
An atom comprises an atomic nucleus with orbiting electrons. So the nucleus is smaller than an atom. To phrase it the opposite way, an atom is alwys larger than the nucleus (of the same atom of course!!)
What is smaller cell or atom?
An atom is smaller.
Why might it be misleading to state that an atom is the smallest piece of matter?
Because there are smaller things
Which one smaller cell atom molecule?
An atom is smaller.
Is the smallest unit of a chemical compound that retains the properties of the compound?
Molecule
Smallest particles that make up matter?
An Atom. It's the world's smallest particles of matter, atom's is known to be 20 times smaller than an average coffee bean.
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.
Is nucleus smaller than atom?
An atom comprises an atomic nucleus with orbiting electrons. So the nucleus is smaller than an atom. To phrase it the opposite way, an atom is alwys larger than the nucleus (of the same atom of course!!)
Smallest basic unit of matter?
an atom Actually, the smallest unit of matter is called a Quark. Quarks combine to form protons and neutrons, which are the core of an atom.
What is smaller cell or atom?
An atom is smaller.

Which one smaller cell atom molecule?
An atom is smaller.
What type of matter consists of one atom?
Matter: Anything that has both mass and volume.The form of matter consisting of only one atom is known as Hydrogen (1 Proton, 1 Neutron, 1 Electron/in basic form).But, there are particles of matter that are smaller than an atom... i.e. protons, neutrons, electrons (debated) And even smaller than those... i.e. neutrinos, the various quarks (there are six known types), leptons The smallest particle of matter known to man is debatable between the lepton and one of the various quarks.
The smallest unit of matter that retains the properties and characteristics of an element is?
An atom of that element has all the properties of that element.
What is smaller an atom or an atom's neutron?
The neutron is a part of the atom, therefore it is smaller.
Is the smallest unit of a chemical compound that retains the properties of the compound?
Molecule
When was our Universe smaller than an atom?
The Universe was never smaller than an atom.
