An ATOM!!!!
An atom can be sub-divided in to protons, neutrons, and electrons.
This is called an "exhibit" or a showing.
It is a meteorite
That's called a meteorite.
asteriod
A meteriod is a floating piece of rock in space. It becomes a meteor when it is flying through the atmosphere. The piece of rock that survives the trip through the atmosphere is called a meteorite.
the smallest piece of an element is called an atom
atom - smallest piece of an element that keeps its chemical properties; compound - substance that can be broken into elements by chemical reactions
The smallest particle of an element that still has all the properties of an element is an atom of that element.
The smallest part of any chemical element that can exist is an atom of that element. The smallest part of a chemical compound that can exist is a molecule of that compound.
An atom is the smallest piece of an elemental chemical, a molecule is the smallest piece of a compound chemical (composed of several elements). However due to quantum effects, neither an atom nor a molecule has the properties that we associate with that specific chemical. You need a minimum of several hundred or thousand atoms or molecules in most cases for the "bulk" chemical properties to begin to appear.
an atom
An atom is the smallest piece of an element that can be identified as that element.
A single atom of gold is the smallest piece of gold that can still be considered gold. Gold is a chemical element, and even in its smallest form, it retains the properties that define it as gold.
He was using this to compare it to the smallest part of an element ... an atom which he called "atomos" from the Greek origin
They use a force called bonding where they either gain or lose an electron.
An atom is the smallest piece of that element that you can divide it into without changing the element.
The smallest piece of an element that still retains the properties of the element is an atom. Atoms are the building blocks of all matter and preserve the unique characteristics of each element, such as its chemical behavior and physical properties.
