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.
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 is the basic unit of a chemical element.
A single atom of an element is represented by that element's chemical symbol.
If you know how many protons the atom has, then that can tell you what element from the periodic table is classifying the atom.
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.

The atom of an element is smaller than a molecule.

Chlorine is a chemical element.
An atom of a chemical element contain only atom.
A single atom of an element is represented by that element's chemical symbol.
atom - smallest piece of an element that keeps its chemical properties; compound - substance that can be broken into elements by chemical reactions
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.
An atom. An atom can be split into smaller pieces, but if you do that, you no longer have the same element.
