When a sugar dissolves in water it breaks into smaller and smaller pieces what is the smallest piece sugar can break into and still be sugar?
an atom of sugar
What is the smallest unit of compound?
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.
Which is the smallest particle into which water in a glass can be broken down and still remain water?
This is the molecule of water - H2O.
True or false the tiniest bit of water that still is water is a molecule of water?
No. Water is composed of two hydrogen atoms, and one oxygen atom. Both of these can exist as pure elements in the form of H2 and O2, respectively. Since a hydrogen (H) atom has the fewest number of protons and electrons, at one a piece, H2, the binding of two of this smallest atom, is the smallest molecule.
If the mass of water is subdivided or vaporized the smallest particle able to exist physically which still retains the original composition of water is called?
This is the water molecule H2O.

What is the smallest piece of water called?
A molecule of H2O.
What is the smallest possible piece of water?
the smallest possible piece of water would be one water molecule. (one molecule of H2O), consisting of 2 Hydrogen atoms and 1 oxygen atom. Anything smaller, and it would lose the characteristics of water.

Compare the results if you divided iron and water each into the smallest substance possible?
The smallest substance of Iron is itself (Fe) The smallest substance of water (H2O) is Hydrogen (H) and Oxygen (O) Compared results are Water having 1 more element than Iron. 2 elements are derived from water and only 1 from Iron.
The smallest particle into which an element can be divided and still be the same substance is called?
There are two definitions that can answer particulate identity at its singular unit. If the given is a pure element, the smallest particle retaining identity would be the individual atom (or diatomic molecule in some gases as in O2). If the substance is a molecular compound such as water, its smallest identifying unit would be a single H20 molecule.
What is the smallest particles into which an element can be divided and still be the same substances?
an "element" can be divided until it reaches a single atom. But a "molecule" can only be divided until it is a single molecule. For instance, water, H2O, is usually present in the millions to look like water. However, if you divide it up into smaller and smaller portions, say halves, you can only divide it until you have 2 Hydrogens and 1 Oxygen. If you divide it further, it is no longer water. It will become something else.

What are the smallest unit of chemical compound that still has the properties of that compound?
particles called atoms are the smallest unit. Several atoms combine to make a molecule and molecules are what form substances such as water
