an "element" can be divided until it reaches a single atom. But a "molecule" can only be divided until it is a single molecule. For instance, water, H2O, is usually present in the millions to look like water. However, if you divide it up into smaller and smaller portions, say halves, you can only divide it until you have 2 Hydrogens and 1 Oxygen. If you divide it further, it is no longer water. It will become something else.
a single atom of a given element doesn't get any smaller. an element is the most basic atom there is.
an atom cannot be divided and still be the same substance
This entity is the atom.

is the smallest particle of an element that has the properties of that element
The smallest particle of an element that still has all the properties of an element is an atom of that element.
An atom
A molecule is the smallest part of a compound that still retains the properties of said compound. As the atom is the smallest particle of an element into which it can be divided and still retain all the properties of that element, the molecule is the atom's analog for a compound.

The smallest particle of an element that has the properties of that element is called an atom.
