The atom is the smallest unit of an element that has all the properties of the element.
There are far too many properties to list them all.
The properties of multiplication need to be considered in the context of the set over which this operation is defined.For most number systems, multiplications isCommutative: x*y = y*x for all x and yAssociative: (x*y)*z = x*(y*z) so that , without ambiguity the expression can be written as x*y*z for all x, y and zDistributive property over addition or subtraction:x*(y+z) = x*y + x*z for all x, y and zIdentity Element: There exists a unique element, denoted by 1, such that1*x = x = x*1 for all xZero element: there is an element 0, such that x*0 = 0 for all x.In some sets, an element x also has a multiplicative inverse, denoted by x-1 such that x*x-1 = x-1*x = 1 (the identity).
The properties areIdentityassociativezeroand there is one more but i forget what it is! Sorry!
For any function f(x) with domain D, if a=b is an element of D, then f(a)=f(b). (Never seen it, but is true and replaces all other properties of equality.)

An atom. Anything smaller is an atomic particle from which all elements are made.An atom is the smallest particle of an element that has properties of that element.An atom is the smallest unit of an element that retains the properties of that element.
An atom of that element has all the properties of that element.
The smallest subdivision that retains all of the properties of a molecular compound is a molecule, and the smallest subdivision that retains all of the properties of a ionic compound is a formula unit.

a molecule
It is an atom
The basic unit of matter is an atom. It is also the smallest part of an element that retains all the properties of that element. Since your question ended with an... I would say element fits best.
A molecule.
This smallest unit of matter is the atom.
That is an atom.
The smallest particle of an element that still has all the properties of an element is an atom of that element.
