Another name for an atom is "elementary particle."
No, for all elements the smallest particle that can exist independently is an atom.
A molecule is the smallest particle of a "compound" being that compounds are made up of more than one atom. The smallest particle of any "chemical element" that retains its properties would be the atom.
The atom is the smallest known particle.
The order from smallest particle size to largest particle size is: solution (smallest), colloid, suspension (largest).
The smallest particle of matter is called an atom. It consists of protons, neutrons, and electrons.
The smallest particle of an element is called an atom.

Another name for an atom is "elementary particle."

The smallest particle in the atom is the electron.
Molecules
A Higgs-Boson particle.
An atom is a particle, the smallest particle that can exist by itself.
This particle is called atom.
If it is an element, then the smallest particle that retains the characteristics of the element is an atom. If it is a diatomic element, then the smallest particle that retains the characteristics of the element is a molecule. If it is a molecular compound, then the smallest particle that retains the characteristics of the compound is a molecule. If it is an ionic compound, the smallest particle that retains characteristics of the compound is a formula unit.
