What is smaller an atom or an element?

Cannot answer your question in a meaningful way as there is no comparison. An element is composed of atoms that are all of the same element. While one atom of an element is that element, it does not have the bulk properties we associate with the element in everyday life, due to quantum effects. Your question could be analogous to "Which is smaller a golf ball or a pile of one or more golf balls?" But I can't account for the quantum effects in this analogy. Also atoms of different elements are different sizes: an atom of the element hydrogen is much smaller than an atom of the element gold. However one mole of atoms of the element hydrogen at standard temperature & pressure is much larger than one mole of atoms of the element gold at standard temperature & pressure, because hydrogen is a gas and gold is a solid.
