What is the name of the smallest paricle of an element that has the properties of that 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.
What are the smallest particle of an element?
The smallest particle of an element would be an atom. Any smaller and it would not be an element, but something more basic. Atoms are made of Protons, Neutrons, and Electrons. Protons and Neutrons are made of Quarks, Leptons, and Bosons.
Smallest particle that exhibits the characteristics of a chemical 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.
The smallest part of an element is?
The smallest unit of an element that is still that element is an atom. Some elements normally exist as molecules, but under some circumstances these can be broken down to individual atoms.
Smallest piece of matter?
The smallest part of any chemical element that can exist is an atom of that element. The smallest part of a chemical compound that can exist is a molecule of that compound.
What is the smallest number of an element that retains the properties of that element?
You mean the smallest particle of an element that still retains that element's properties. It is the atom. Even one atom of, say, carbon is still carbon. Cut it up any further and you no longer have carbon.
What is the smallest partical of any element?
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.
What is the smallest particle of a covalent compound that has the property of that compound?
A molecule is the smallest particle of a "compound" being that compounds are made up of more than one atom. The smallest particle of any "chemical element" that retains its properties would be the atom.
What is the smallest part of an element that retains the properties of the element atoms lepton or quark?
The smallest particle that retains the properties of an element is an atom. Quarks and leptons are just a family of elementary particles and do not carry any properties of the element.
What is the smallest particle of any amount of copper?
An atom.
What is the simplest element?
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)
Why is the atom not only the smallest particle of any element but of any matter in this universe?
That was onece the belief, but today science knows that there are several smaller particles.
