The basic unit of matter is an atom. It is also the smallest part of an element that retains all the properties of that element.

Since your question ended with an... I would say element fits best.

What is smallest particle of matter still retaining the characteristic of the element building block of matter?

The smallest particle of matter still retaining the elemental properties of matter is an atom. Atoms have building blocks, and they are protons, electrons and neutrons. But the atom, because it is made of these elemental building blocks, is the furthest we can break matter down and retain the elemental structure.We can further break down the building blocks of matter, the particles that make up the atom, but the resultant particles are not stable. They spontaneously go through changes and disappear.It is not an atom it is a quark
