A single atom of hydrogen-1 is the smallest particle of hydrogen. A hydrogen-1 atom contains only one proton and one electron, and is the simplest atom.


Which atom could not emit an alpha particle?

Alpha particles consist of two protons and two neutrons (the nucleus of a helium atom). Therefore, Hydrogen is the only element that doesn't contain (and can't emit) an alpha particle.

What is smallest particle into which an element can be divided and still have the properties of that element?

an "element" can be divided until it reaches a single atom. But a "molecule" can only be divided until it is a single molecule. For instance, water, H2O, is usually present in the millions to look like water. However, if you divide it up into smaller and smaller portions, say halves, you can only divide it until you have 2 Hydrogens and 1 Oxygen. If you divide it further, it is no longer water. It will become something else.
