The smallest whole bit of matter for elements is an atom, for compounds is a molecule, and for mixtures is a particle.
An atom is the smallest bit of matter that isn't a sub-atomic particle. Minerals are made of atoms.
A quark is the smallest particle in matter.
The smallest particles of matter are called atoms. Atoms are composed of protons, neutrons, and electrons.
The smallest unit in a digital system is a binary digit, also known as a bit. A bit can represent two possible states: 0 or 1. It is the fundamental building block used for representing data and carrying out computational tasks in digital systems.

Smallest amount.
An atom is the smallest bit of matter. Atom is from the Greek, and means cannot be cut.The 'tom' bit means cut or divide, and is the root word behind tome (part of a volume), micro-tome (a cutting machine), tomography ( a means of visualizing slices of tissue). But only maybe for tomahawk.

The smallest units of matter are the subatomic particles.
Democritus came up with the idea that there was an ultimately small bit of matter that could not be divided any further. He called this "atomos" for "indivisible". Much later, what we call the atom was discovered. As researchers at the time thought that it was the smallest bit of matter, they called it the "atom", after the Greek "atomos". Ever after, poor Democritus has been called wrong, as teachers gleefully point out that the atom can be divided! Yet Democritus never said that what we call the atom was the smallest bit of matter. He simply hypothesized that there would be such a thing as an indivisble bit of mattter, and it was that and that alone he called "atomos". So the Greeks did not believe any one thing was the tiniest bit of matter. They simply believed that there was such a thing, regardless as to what exactly it would turn out to be.
