Close, very close: CO2 is a molecule, made from three Atoms, then when burnt [or put through the process of Combustion] - the Oxygen is 'reacted away' and this leaves just pure Carbon atoms that remain and coalesce into particles called Soot.

No, carbon dioxide is a molecule that is composed of 3 atoms (1 carbon atom and 2 oxygen atoms, hence the chemical formula CO2)

What is the smallest particle that retains the properties of an element?

By definition, an atom of an element is the smallest particle of the element that retains its chemical properties. The answer is "an atom of carbon." A group of 6 protons. It could have 6 neutrons and 6 electrons, but it does not necessarily have to. It could have a different amount of neutrons and hence a different weight (an isotope), or a different number of electrons and be electrically charged (an ion). These are all still considered to be carbon atoms and chemically act as carbon.
