What is the smallest unit of matter that makes up liquid matter?

The phase of matter, whether solid, liquid, or gas, is dependent upon temperature. Atoms are the smallest unit of matter that have consistent chemical characteristics, which would include the melting or freezing point, so if we are talking about liquids, we would have to use the atom as the smallest unit.

What is the smallest particle of matter of an individual element?

It's an atom because that contains a nucleus with the defining number of protons (plus some neutons) and the defining number of electrons, e.g. 12 protons/electrons makes it carbon.


What does more particles in matter do?

It makes it heavier. However, a particle is matter (please leave anti-matter and energy out of this ;)).So your question actually is: What does more matter in matter do?

What is the pieces of matter?

The smallest piece of a chemical compound is a molecule. The smallest part of an element is an atom. The smallest part of an atom (meaning of the proton, neutron and electron, which are an atom's building blocks) is the electron. Beyond that, the quark is a fundamental building block of matter, and it makes up neutrons and protons. Quarks also explain the "particle zoo" seen before the Standard Model arose to gather the phenomenon under one theoretical umbrella.


Can a particle be a single atom?

Answer: No, it takes millions, if not billions of atoms to make one grain of sugar. No. The smallest "particle" of sugar would be a molecule. The individual atoms are carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, but they no longer have the properties of the sugar.
