The subatomic particles are the smallest from the list given. The subatomic particles protons, neutrons, and electrons make up atoms, atoms make up molecules, and molecules make up organelles, and organelles make up cells.
Excluding all subatomic particles, theElectron
In the atom the electron is the lightest.
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.
Smallest to Largest.. - Electron - Proton - Atom - Compound - Molecule
A molecule is the smallest part of a compound that still retains the properties of said compound. As the atom is the smallest particle of an element into which it can be divided and still retain all the properties of that element, the molecule is the atom's analog for a compound.
An atom is a smallest particle of an element. The subatomic particles are electrons, protons and neutrons
The more adequate term is "formula unit".
No; an atom contain subatomic particles.
The atom is the smallest known particle.
is the smallest particle of an element that has the properties of that element
Either an atom or a molecule, depending on the substance.
An atom is the smallest complete particle of an element. A molecule consists of two or more atoms joined together.
