elements..because.....two elements form a compound
If that substance is an element, the smallest part is the atom which, if broken down further into atomic particles, loses its identity.
COLLOIDS
An atom is the smallest particle of an element that still retains that element's chemical identity. In other words, one single atom of iron is still iron, but if you cut it up any farther than that, you no longer have iron, you have pieces of an atom. (There is no chemical process that can do this though.)
The smallest particles of matter are the atom particles, namely protons, neutrons, and electrons. The electron is the smallest of the three.

No they do not. They are smallest particles of elements.
No, atom is not the smallest particle. Atoms are not even particles, but elements. Atoms are made up of 3 particles: Electrons, Protons, and Neutrons. The protons and neutrons are made up of even smaller particles known as quarks.

The smallest particles in a compound are electrons.

The order of a cyclic group is the number of distinct elements in the group. It is also the smallest power, k, such that xk = i for all elements x in the group (i is the identity).
Hmm, oxygen is an element and elements can be divided smallest to an atom. Protons are subatomic particles that are in the nucleus of an atom. So the answer to this question is 0. 0 elements of oxygen is within a proton.
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.
Atomos is the name Democritus gave the smallest particles.
