- Atom – the smallest particle into which an element can be divided and still be the same substance. Electrons – the negatively charged particles found in all atoms.
- An atom is the smallest unit of ordinary matter that forms a chemical element.Every solid, liquid, gas, and plasma is composed of neutral or ionized atoms. Atoms are extremely small, typically around 100 picometers across. They are so small that accurately predicting their behavior using classical physics—as if they were tennis balls, for example—is not possible due to quantum effects.
Smallest Particle Of An Element That Can Exist Independently
An atom is defined as the smallest particle of an element that still has the chemical properties of that element. The answer to the question is hence, an 'atom'. Become a member and unlock all.
Citrix receiver single sign on. I believe the answer is:
This clue is a double definition.
'smallest particle' is the first definition.
(I've seen this before)
'an element' is the second definition.
(thesaurus)
'of' acts as a link.
'smallest particle' is the first definition.
(I've seen this before)
'an element' is the second definition.
(thesaurus)
'of' acts as a link.
(Other definitions for atom that I've seen before include 'Smallest particle in an element able to take part in a chemical reaction', 'little amount', 'Smallest component of an element', 'A cat,', 'Bit of make-up'.)
I've seen this clue in The Guardian and The Telegraph.
