False - atoms are the smallest portions of an element that retains the original characteristics
No, the proton is not the smallest subatomic particle. Protons in the standard model are considered composite particles made up of smaller particles (quarks). There are elementary particles smaller than protons other than their own constituent quarks, for example, electrons, or neutrinos, which in quantum physics are considered to be dimensionless points, or in other words to have no physical extents or zero size.
Of the subatomic particles found in an atom electrons are the smallest.
no it quarks and protons electrons and neutrons are made of quarks
Atoms are the smallest units of the matter unbreakable by chemical procedures.
Electrons are smaller than protons.
An Atom. An atom contains protons , neutrons and electrons. The number of protons in an atom gives it its characteristics. e.g. Hydrogen has ONE proton. Carbon has SIX protons. et seq/.
Of those three the electron is the least massive.
The atom is the smallest particle of an element that retains it's characteristics. Sub-atomic particles such as protons, neutrons and electrons form the atom and it is the amount of each of these sub-atomic particles that make the element that element.
The smallest particle of matter still retaining the elemental properties of matter is an atom. Atoms have building blocks, and they are protons, electrons and neutrons. But the atom, because it is made of these elemental building blocks, is the furthest we can break matter down and retain the elemental structure.We can further break down the building blocks of matter, the particles that make up the atom, but the resultant particles are not stable. They spontaneously go through changes and disappear.It is not an atom it is a quark
protons and neutrons. atoms are not the smallest thing but protons are. protons are slightly smaller than neitrons. but are not simple sphere's.
That would be an atom. Atoms go down to protons, neutrons and electrons, but these do not have unique characteristics. So, the smallest particle with unique characteristics is an atom.
The smallest particle that has characteristics of that element is the atom. The atom is made up of a certain amount of protons, electrons and (neutrons) and those are what give the characteristics of that element to that atom.

The smallest particles in a compound are electrons.
The Atom is the smallest particle of an element that has characteristics 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 into a Atom.
Electrons are the smallest component of an atom.
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.
