Atom
Mass number decreases by four
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.

Atom
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.

Mass number decreases by four
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.
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.
