This is a difficult question because size doesn't really apply to particle physics, even less when one considers particle-wave dualities. Of all the particles that can be considered as "matter", muon neutrinos (νμ) are currently understood as the lightest, with a mass of about 170 keV, or around 3.311 x 10-31 kilograms.
On the other hand, forces are also carried by (non-matter) particles, photons (mediate the electromagnetic force) and gluons (mediate the strong nuclear force) are both known to have zero mass.

What small particle of substance retains the characteristics of the substance?
If it is an element, then the smallest particle that retains the characteristics of the element is an atom. If it is a diatomic element, then the smallest particle that retains the characteristics of the element is a molecule. If it is a molecular compound, then the smallest particle that retains the characteristics of the compound is a molecule. If it is an ionic compound, the smallest particle that retains characteristics of the compound is a formula unit.
