The general answer would be molecule however some molecules prefer to exists as paired molecules and subdividing them would alter some of its chemical properties: a good example of this would be the sugars.

an atom is the smallest, indivisible unit of a substance
the smallest amount of a chemical that would retain the chemical's physical properties would be a single molecule of the substance

What is the difference between a chemical reaction and a chemical composition?
when 2 or more compounds react chemically to form a new compound then it is called chemical reaction chemical reaction whereas the quantity and no. chemical elements presents in chemical compound is called the chemical composition
What is used to describe the physical properties of matter?
physical quantity
How can you maintain sperms in large quantity?
Put semen in liquid nitrogen.
What does the specific heat of a reaction represent?
This is the quantity of energy needed to maintain all substances involved in a chemical reaction at the same temperature.
What element has a chemical formula of CH2O?
This NOT an element, but an organic compound. CH2O is the empirical/molecular formula for methanal , formerly known as formaldehyde. Methanal is a member of the homologous series known as aldehydes. the chemical formula for aldehydes is ALWAYS written as XCHO. Hence for methanal it is HCHO NOT CH2O NB Note the 'A' in the name. NNB Ethanal formula is CH3CHO NNNB An element is a quantity/mass of the atom. Two or more atoms combined make a compound.
What is the compound produced in the greatest quantity by the chemical industry?
Chlorine
How does the chemical formula of a compound relate to the relative number of atoms in the compound?
Chemical formulas consist of chemical symbols and numbers. The symbols represent the elements in the compound. The numbers indicate the quantity of atoms of each element in the compound.

What are two interesting properties of francium?
- francium is extremely radioactive- the total quantity of francium on the Earth is approx. 30 g- the chemical and physical properties of francium are only estimated, not measured
Every chemical compound?
A good note is to remember a chemical substance is a pure form of matter. A chemical element is pure chemical substance consisting of once type of atom distinguished by it's atomic number (quantity of protons within an atom's nucleus.)Where as a chemical compound is a pure chemical substance consisting of two or more chemical element.
What type of property of matter is independent of the quantity of the substance?
density, melting point, boiling point, chemical composition, electrical properties, thermal properties and the others
Is the mechanical advantage a physical quantity?
Mechaqnical properties are physical properties of materials.
what is a chemical formulae?
An identification of the atoms is a molecule (APEX)
What is a compound tariff?
