What is the smallest piece of a chemical element called?

An ATOM!!!! An atom can be sub-divided in to protons, neutrons, and electrons.


Can elements be separated into smaller parts using chemical means?

No. An Element is an atom. An atom is the smallest particle. Atoms cannot be broken down into smaller things. Ever.


What is the the smallest components of elements having all the chemical properties?

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.


Why can't elements be separated into smaller parts using chemicals means?

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".

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.


What is The smallest particle of an element t?

An atom. An atom can be split into smaller pieces, but if you do that, you no longer have the same element.
