True, if it contains more than one is is not a single element but a combination of elements.
We should include one caveat: elements can have different isotopes of that element. By one definition all the isotopes are still the same "type" of atom since they all have the same number of protons even if they differ in the number of neutrons. If the number of protons differs you no longer have the same element.

What Elements contain only one type of atom?
By definition, an Element contains only one kind of atom - atoms of that element. If it has more than one kind, it is a compound, not an element.
Electrons are the smallest particle of an element that retains the original characteristics of the element?
No. This is a definition of an atom. Electrons are only part of atoms.
What atom only contains one element?

True or False an atom is the smallest part of a compound that may still be identified as the compound?
False. A molecule is the smallest part of a compound that can still be indentified as a compound as it may contain several atoms of different elements. A single atom can only identify a single element, not a compound which it may have been a part of.
What atom only contains one element?
