Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -An atom is the smallest particle of an element, having the same chemical properties as the bulk element. The first accurate theory explaining the nature of matter was Dalton’s Atomic Theory: 1. All matter is composed of atoms, and atoms are indivisible and indestructible.

Detailed explanation-2: -An atom is the smallest unit of matter that retains all of the chemical properties of an element. For example, a gold coin is simply a very large number of gold atoms molded into the shape of a coin, with small amounts of other, contaminating elements.

Detailed explanation-3: -The atom is the smallest and most fundamental unit of matter. It consists of a nucleus surrounded by electrons. Atoms combine to form molecules, which are chemical structures consisting of at least two atoms held together by a chemical bond.

Detailed explanation-4: -The basic unit of all matter is the atom. The atom is the smallest unit of matter that can’t be divided using any chemical means and the building block that has unique properties. In other words, an atom of each element is different from an atom of any other element.

Detailed explanation-5: -British chemist John Dalton proposed the basic idea of the nature of matter. Dalton took the name ‘atoms’ as given by the Greeks and said that the smallest particles of matter are atoms. The size of an atom is extremely small, much smaller than our imagination. More items
