There are no atoms or elements shared (or owned) in a chemical bond.
An atom. Anything smaller is an atomic particle from which all elements are made.An atom is the smallest particle of an element that has properties of that element.An atom is the smallest unit of an element that retains the properties of that element.
Fluorine is an element, not an atom. An atom is the smallest unit of an element that retains its chemical properties, while an element is a substance made up of only one type of atom. Fluorine is a chemical element with the symbol F and atomic number 9.
No, oxygen is not the most electronegative element in our bodies. Fluorine is the most electronegative element, followed by oxygen. Electronegativity is a measure of an atom's ability to attract shared electrons in a chemical bond.
An atom is the smallest unit of a chemical element that retains the properties of that element.
Two reasons: # Smaller than a single atom of an element, it ceases to be an element. # The energies available to chemical means is a million times too small to break apart an atom of an element (the nucleus) to "smaller parts".
An ATOM!!!! An atom can be sub-divided in to protons, neutrons, and electrons.
No. An Element is an atom. An atom is the smallest particle. Atoms cannot be broken down into smaller things. Ever.

An atom is the smallest particle of an element that can be uniquely identified as that specific element.Note that this question is different from asking "What is the smallest particle in an atom?" (see related question below). Atoms are composed of smaller particles (protons, electrons, and neutrons), but the smallest thing that has the identity of a specific element is the atom.The smallest particle of an element that still retains all that element's properties is called an ATOM.
Atoms are the smallest unit of an element that retains the chemical properties of that element. They are comprised of protons, neutrons, and electrons, and any smaller subatomic particles would not maintain the characteristics unique to that element.
The atom of an element is smaller than a molecule.
An atom is the smallest part of an element that displays the chemical properties of that element. Each element is defined by the unique number of protons in its atom's nucleus, which determines its chemical behavior.
retains the chemical identity of that element.
The smallest particle of an element would be an atom. Any smaller and it would not be an element, but something more basic. Atoms are made of Protons, Neutrons, and Electrons. Protons and Neutrons are made of Quarks, Leptons, and Bosons.
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.
Chlorine is a chemical element.
An atom of a chemical element contain only atom.
