A bit, which can hold two values. 1 bit is the smallest unit of info in a computer 4 bits = 1 byte 2 bytes = 1 word a "byte" can be all sorts of things: It usually is the smallest addressable unit in a computer. 8 bit bytes are the most common nowadays, but here are, or have been, computers with bytes of 4 bits, 8 bits, 9 bits, 13 bits, 16 bits and others.
The smallest amount of data that can be stored on a computer is a byte. A byte is one character, whether a letter or number. Computers store data in numbers, mostly 0's and 1's, which represent on and off.
A 32-bit processor can perform functions on 32-bit pieces of information. The value of that 32-bit number may only be 1 bit, but the computer processes it as if it were 32-bits.
The smallest physical units in my computer are the electron holes in the P-N junctions of the semiconductors: they are so small that they are not even there: it's just an imbalance in the electromagnetic force. If that's not quite the answer you're looking for, then you can go with the diode on the VLSI chip that contains that P-N junction.
A bit. Has the value 0 or 1. This is determined by high voltage or no voltage. The exact voltage depends on the systems being used.
A bit. A single "One" or "Zero" (On or Off)

No. The smallest practical unit of information is the bit - which is what you get when you can have two choices, often called "yes/no", "true/false", or "one/zero". In theory, a byte can have different sizes, but it is normally standardized as 8 bits. It is the smallest amount of computer memory that can be directly addressed.
The word was made up by Dr. Werner Buchholz at IBM IN 1956 to represent a grouping of bits. At the time, he was working with 6 bit bytes. Today, a byte is 8 bits.
It is called a block (or sector). The size of the block varies depending upon the size of the disk, advanced preferences (the size of files normally being used on that disk), and the filesystem being used. They normally run from 512Bytes to 64KiB. As disk capacity continues to grow, look for even larger block sizes to come :-)

If it is a molecular compound, the smallest unit is called a molecule. If it is an ionic compound, the smallest unit is called a formula unit.
A cell is the smallest unit of an organism
