The smallest unit of an element is the atom. There are smaller components of atoms, but they no longer hold the properties of the element that belong to an atom of that element. There are smaller things called quarks but they are not very well understood. Of the neutron, proton and electron, the electron is by far the smallest.
The smallest unit in an element is the atom.
The smallest unit of an element that maintains the properties of that element is an atom. Atoms are composed of a nucleus containing protons and neutrons, surrounded by electrons that determine the element's chemical properties.
The smallest unit of an element that is still that element is an atom. Some elements normally exist as molecules, but under some circumstances these can be broken down to individual atoms.
the smallest piece of an element is called an atom
An atom of that element has all the properties of that element.
The smallest identifiable unit of an element that retains the properties of the element is an atom.
The atom is the smallest unit of an element that has all the properties of the element.
