Guida verificata passo dopo passo1
Understand the question is asking for the smallest particle of an element that still retains the chemical properties of that element.
Recall that a compound is made of two or more different elements chemically combined, so it is not the smallest particle of a single element.
Recognize that a molecule can be made of atoms of the same or different elements, but it is not necessarily the smallest particle of an element.
Know that matter is a general term for anything that has mass and occupies space, so it is not a specific particle.
Identify that an atom is the smallest particle of an element that retains the chemical properties of that element.
