The smallest particles on a beach are found closest to the shoreline and many of those small grains of sand are carried into the sea with the waves. The coarser grains of sand are what actually builds up the beach.
No It is not true that atoms are the smallest particles in the planets. The smallest particles are electrons, protons, neutrons, and others.
You probably mean the smallest part of an atom. That would be an electron, because electrons are the particles making up atoms that are smallest in size.
The smallest basic particle of an element is an atom. Atoms and molecules formed of them are the smallest particles that have the physical and chemical properties of the element. Atoms, however, are made of smaller particles: electrons, protons, and neutrons, of which the electron is the smallest. There are various supplementary particles that connect or interact with them (e.g. mesons). These atomic particles are formed by the combination of constituent particles called quarks, which do not normally exist in uncombined forms (where, oddly, they would have much greater mass than the particles they constitute).
If the substance is an element, the smallest will be an atom. If it is a compound, then that would be a molecule.
For an element, it would be an atom. For a molecular substance, it would be a molecule. If it is an ionic compound, it would be a formula unit.
No. The smallest particle of an element that has the properties of that element is an atom.

People would say yes. But actually, no. Neutrino is nearly 20 times smaller.
yes.
Electrons, Protons, and Neutrons.
Patu digua is said to be the smallest spider ever found.
A molecule is the smallest particle of a "compound" being that compounds are made up of more than one atom. The smallest particle of any "chemical element" that retains its properties would be the atom.
