Molecule
Two molecules of water would have all the properties. a single molecule could not freeze or boil
It is called an element. Water is a compound made up 2 hydrogen atoms and 1 oxygen atom
Such a particle is called a molecule.

water
H - Hydrogen Smallest particle with formula H2O is water molecule and is composed of two atoms of hydrogen and one that of oxygen. two atoms of hydrogen incidentally combined to make one hydrogen molecule. Thanks, Dilip Thakur
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.
Well, water (H2O) does exist as molecules, which are the smallest representative particles of water. However, neon (Ne) is an element, which means its smallest representative particle is the atom.
A molecule of H2O.

particles called atoms are the smallest unit. Several atoms combine to make a molecule and molecules are what form substances such as water
This is the water molecule H2O.

This is the molecule of water - H2O.
If you mean the smallest particle of water that has the properties of water, then yes, water particles are molecules.

To understand, you first need to understand the difference between an element and a compound. An element is any element from the Periodic table. For example, oxygen. A compound is a substance in which more than one element are bonded chemically. This is not to be confused with a mixture, which is simple a mixture of substances with no chemical bonding. An example of a compound would be water, consisting of hydrogen and oxygen bonded together.Now that we've established to difference between an element and a compound, we can explore what the smallest particle of each is. The "smallest particle" is the smallest you can go while still keeping the properties of the original substance.The smallest particle of an element would be an atom. But when dealing with compounds, if you break them down to atoms, then those atoms don't have the same properties as a compound. The smallest particle of a compound is a molecule. In our example of water, a water molecule consists of two hydrogen atoms and one oxygen atom, chemically bonded together. The molecule, consisting of three atoms, has the chemical properties of water. But if you break it down so you just have an oxygen atom and two hydrogen atoms, none of them would have the properties of the original compound (water).Thus, the smallest particle of an element is an atom, and the smallest particle of a compound is a molecule. The difference between the two is that an atom is an atom, and a molecule is two or more atoms chemically bonded.
