a solid
If the substance is an element, the smallest will be an atom. If it is a compound, then that would be a molecule.
An atom, these include protons, neutrons and electrons. The number of these smaller particles is what distingushes one atom of an element for another. For example, an atom of oxygen has 8 protons, neutrons, and electrons while a hydrogen atom has 1 proton neutron and electron
Yes, molecules are the smallest units of a substance that retain its characteristic properties. They are made up of atoms bonded together, and the arrangement of these atoms gives each molecule its unique properties.
The smallest part of any chemical element that can exist is an atom of that element. The smallest part of a chemical compound that can exist is a molecule of that compound.
The smallest particle of a substance that still retains all the chemical properties of that substance is called a molecule. In the case of elements, the smallest particle is an atom, which retains the unique properties of that element. Molecules are made up of atoms bonded together in specific arrangements that determine the chemical behavior of the substance. Therefore, the smallest particle of a substance that is still that substance does indeed possess all the properties of that substance.
If the substance is an element, the smallest will be an atom. If it is a compound, then that would be a molecule.
No, a particle is not the largest part of a substance. Particles are the smallest units of a substance that still retain the chemical properties of that substance. Substances can be made up of many particles.
An atom is the smallest particle of a substance.
the smallest unit of a substance.
Elements are the simplest type of chemical. An element is composed of atoms. Atoms in turn are composed of subatomic particles. However, all substances are composed of atoms, and there are no substances composed only of subatomic particles - at least, not on Earth. It is believed that there exist neutron stars composed only of neutrons. In that situation, you could say that the neutron is the smallest type of substance.
Molecules are the smallest particles of a substance.
No, cells contain mixtures of many substances.
Molecule
If that substance is an element, the smallest part is the atom which, if broken down further into atomic particles, loses its identity.
For an element, it would be an atom. For a molecular substance, it would be a molecule. If it is an ionic compound, it would be a formula unit.
