What is the smallest unit of matter with unique characteristics?

That would be an atom. Atoms go down to protons, neutrons and electrons, but these do not have unique characteristics. So, the smallest particle with unique characteristics is an atom.


What is the difference between elements and atoms?

An atom is the smallest piece of an element. Said another way, and element is made up one and only one kind of atoms.


What discovery demonstrated that atoms are not the smallest particles?

cells are made of many particles called atoms right ? so what are atoms made of? semi cells ..... semicells are made of many tinier particle of science


What is a sustance that is formed when two or more different kinds of atoms combine?

Two or more different kinds of atoms chemically combine to form a compound. The atoms make a molecule of that compound, which is the smallest individual component (part or piece) of that substance.P.S. That makes the answer Molecule.


Smallest part of a pure substance?

If the pure substance is not an element, the smallest part is a molecule (which is made of atoms) for instance, pure water is made of water molecules, which are made of 2 hydrogen atoms and 1 oxygen atom If the pure substance is an element, the smallest part is an atom. (which is made of Protons, Neutrons, and Electrons) Pure hydrogen is made of atoms. A stable hydrogen atom has 1 proton, 1 neutron, and 1 electron. Protons and Neutrons can be broken down further into Quarks, Leptons, and Bosons. The Electron is a type of Lepton.

Arrange atoms from smallest to largest?

An atoms size is relative to the number of electrons an atom contains. Atoms with the least number of electrons are the smallest atoms. When atoms have the same number of electrons, the atom with the most protons will have the largest nuclear charge, and therefore be the smallest atom.

Is it true that atoms are the smallest particles on the planet?

Atoms are indeed very small, but there are even smaller particles that make up atoms, such as protons, neutrons, and electrons. These subatomic particles are the building blocks of atoms and are themselves much smaller than atoms.
