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.

∙ 7y agoan atom most likely, but if u break an atom down even smaller in order from big to small there is a: Nucleus, and neutrons and protons and the smallest thing inside of an atom is an electron. Usually cells are considered "living" but their individual components are not.
The whole question of what constitutes "alive" is still being debated and investigated both scientifically and philosophically.

∙ 9y agoThe cell is the smallest unit of living matter. This is because every living organism has living cells, and there is no smaller unit that makes up the body than the cell.

∙ 13y agoThe answer could either be the cell... or an atom

What was one main point of Dalton's atomic theory?
Atoms are made up of the smallest form of matter
What is the smallest unit of a particular element that undergoes chemical change?
The smallest unit of matter that can enter into a chemical reaction is an atom. This is the smallest unit of chemical matter.The smallest unit of matter in all is believed to be a fermion.Matter is made up of molecules, which are made up of various atoms. Atoms are made of neutrons, protons and electrons. Protons and neutrons are made up of both quarks and gluon (think of gluon as the "glue" that holds together quarks). Electrons are made from leptons. Both leptons and quarks are types of fermions.There are some even smaller, theorized, units such as the tachyon-- and the smallest unit of matter might not be a unit at all, but rather a vibration.
How did Democritus contributeto the model of the atom?
During the period of 400 B.C (which was a long long time ago) Democritus proposed that matter is formed into pieces that could not be cut into smaller parts. He called these smallest possible pieces "atomos", which means uncuttable. An atom is the smallest particle of an element in modern terms. He started the whole idea of an atom.
Which formula of a compound has the smallest whole-number mole ratio of elements?
the empirical formula
After the first steps in writing an equation the eqaution is balanced by?
adjusting coefficients to the smallest whole-number ratio.
Which is the smallest whole particle that makes up matter?
an atom
What is the smallest whole bit of each kind of matter?
a biiter
What is the smallest whole?
The smallest whole number is one.
Which smallest whole number?
1 is the smallest whole number
What is the successor of smallest whole number?
There is no smallest whole number. Assume that k is the smallest whole number.Consider (k-1).It is smaller than k and it is a whole number.This contradicts the assumption that k is the smallest whole number.Such a number does not exist.
Which is the smallest positive number?
The smallest positive whole number is 1. If you include numbers that aren't whole, then there's no such thing as the 'smallest' one. Whatever number you name, no matter how small it is, I can always name another one that smaller than yours but still positive. For example: Your number . . . 0.000000000000001 My number. . . . . 0.0000000000000001
What whole number equals 0.5?
The smallest whole number is 1. But 0.5 is only half the size of 1. So 0.5 doesn't have what it takes to be a whole number, no matter what you do to it. There's no whole number that's equal to 0.5 .
What is the smallest 2 digit whole number?
The smallest 2 digit whole number is 10 The smallest 2 digit odd whole number is 11
The smallest and the largest whole numbers that round off to 7000?
smallest possible whole number is 6500
What is the smallest 4 digit whole number?
The smallest four digit whole number is 1000.
What is the smallest possible whole number of the digits 3618?
what is the smallest possible whole number of the digits 3,6,1,8
What is the smallest factor in a whole number?
The smallest factor is 1.
