The word you are probably looking for is 'atoms'. However there are many different types of particle: molecules and ions are on the same scale as atoms. Atoms are made of protons, neutrons and electrons. Some of these are made up of quarks....

∙ 9y agoWhat was once a one word answer, isn't so easy anymore. Atoms make up matter was an acceptable answer years ago. Since then, the discovery od protons, neutrons, and electrons started an avalanche of discovery of even smaller particles. Quarks and bayons and leptons are newer layers in the atom.

What is a small piece of matter?
Small matter, this can be answered depending on how you look at it, originally atoms were named because they were believed to be the smallest particle of matter and cannot be split anymore but scientists now know that subatomic particles exist such as quarks. They and others are building blocks of matter. http://www.nyu.edu/pages/mathmol/textbook/atoms.html A particle is a very small piece of matter. Particles are part of atoms. Atoms are the smallest unit of all substances.
Matter smaller then atom?
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.

What is a chemical particle?
A chemical particle refers to the small portion of matter that make a particular chemical. For instance, the helium nucleus is an alpha particle with 2 neutrons and 2 protons.

How will you show the particle of matter is so small?
With identifying its atoms.
What is small particle?
A small piece of matter. Depending on the context, it may be a grain of dust, or something much smaller, such as a molecule, an atom, or a subatomic particle.
