atoms
The smallest particle of any substance that maintains elemental characteristics and identity is an atom. Conversely a pure elemental sample if divided indefinitely into smaller pieces would ultimately yield the atom.
The smallest particle of an element is called an atom.
The atom is the smallest particle of an element that retains it's characteristics. Sub-atomic particles such as protons, neutrons and electrons form the atom and it is the amount of each of these sub-atomic particles that make the element that element.
The smallest electrically neutral particle of an element is the neutron. Neutrons are subatomic particles found in the nucleus of an atom along with protons. They have no electric charge, unlike protons that are positively charged.
The smallest basic particle of an element is an atom. Atoms and molecules formed of them are the smallest particles that have the physical and chemical properties of the element. Atoms, however, are made of smaller particles: electrons, protons, and neutrons, of which the electron is the smallest. There are various supplementary particles that connect or interact with them (e.g. mesons). These atomic particles are formed by the combination of constituent particles called quarks, which do not normally exist in uncombined forms (where, oddly, they would have much greater mass than the particles they constitute).
If it is an element, then the smallest particle that retains the characteristics of the element is an atom. If it is a diatomic element, then the smallest particle that retains the characteristics of the element is a molecule. If it is a molecular compound, then the smallest particle that retains the characteristics of the compound is a molecule. If it is an ionic compound, the smallest particle that retains characteristics of the compound is a formula unit.
The smallest particle of an element that still retains the chemical characteristics of that element is called an atom. Each element is made up of atoms, which are composed of protons, neutrons, and electrons.
This particle is the atom.
That would be AN ATOM.
The Atom is the smallest particle of an element that has characteristics of that element. The Atom consists of a certain amount of electrons, protons and usually neutrons. The amount of each of these sub-atomic particles is what makes an element into a Atom.

The atom.
The smallest particle of an element is called an atom.
An atom is the smallest building block of matter that retains the characteristics of that matter.
An atom is the smallest building block of matter that retains the characteristics of that matter.
An atom is the smallest building block of matter that retains the characteristics of that matter.
The smallest unit of an element that still maintains its chemical properties is an atom. Each element is uniquely defined by the number of protons in its nucleus, which stays constant in all atoms of that element.
