What is a particle diagram for carbon oxygen?

A particle diagram for a carbon-oxygen molecule would show two separate atoms, one representing carbon and the other representing oxygen. The carbon atom would have six protons and six neutrons in its nucleus, with six electrons orbiting around it. The oxygen atom would have eight protons and eight neutrons in its nucleus, with eight electrons orbiting around it.

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.
