A molecule of the substance.
An atom of an element may exhibit different characteristics when it is bound to other atoms of the same element.
Examples are common oxygen (O2) and ozone (O3) with altered chemical properties.
Or carbon as graphite (hexagonal lattice) and diamond (tetrahedral lattice), which demonstrate very different physical properties.

It it is a compound, then the smallest unit that keeps all the physical and chemical properties is a molecule or unit formula.

What are some different types of matter made up of?
A substance can be categorized into several categories. If a substance cannot be separated through physical means (e.g., distillation, magnetism) it is a pure substance. If a substance can be separated through physical means, it is a mixture. If a mixture is uniform throughout, it is a homogenous mixture, like saltwater. If it is not (i.e., there are different parts to it, like a can of soda), it is a heterogeneous mixture. If a pure substance can be separated through chemical means, it is a compound, like glucose, which is made of carbon, oxygen, and hydrogen. If a substance cannot be separated by chemical means, it is an element, like oxygen, which is made of just oxygen. A substance can be in multiple categories.

What radioactive emission is a particle?
Alpha emission is a 4helium nucleus, which behaves like a particle. Beta emission is an electron, which behaves like a particle. Gamma emission is a photon, which behaves like a particle. Experiments can also be set up to show their wavelike properties (for alpha, beta, and gamma radiation).
