Answer

An atom is the smallest unit of an element that can exist independently while retaining that element’s chemical properties. Dividing an atom further breaks it into subatomic particles, which no longer represent the element.

Atoms are the fundamental building blocks of matter. Every solid, liquid, and gas is made of atoms arranged in different ways.
