ATOMS are real life examples of atoms. They do exist.
2.3 X 1024 atoms / 6.022 X 1023 atoms/mole X 107.87 gm/mole of silver = 412 grams
A particle smaller than atom is a subatomic particle, protons , neutrons, and , electrons, the smallest one is an electron, smaller than that are point particles and elementary particles, one elementary particle and point particle is a quark, up quarks down quarks the smallest single thing found so far is a GLUON, which is the force which binds/holds quarks together. Where the devil lives in anti matter there are also atoms and subatomic particles and point particles but just anti, anti- GLUON, anti-QUARK, anti-ATOM, anti-SUBATOMIC PARTICLE. There is something called the string theory, and super string theory that theorizes about bosonic/boson strings but it can not be provine yet, and I think a gluon is still alot smaller than a bosonic/boson string if they are true.

Cations are smaller then neutral atoms and anions are larger.
Metal ions are smaller than the neutral atoms they came from.
Cations are formed when atoms lose electrons and hence are smaller in size than the corresponding atoms. Anions are formed when atoms gain electrons and hence are larger in size than the corresponding atoms.
Cations are positively charged ions that are attracted to the cathode (negative electrode) during electrolysis or in an electrical field. These ions move towards the cathode where they gain electrons to become neutral atoms.
Atom is neutral while cation is positively charged so cations have less electrons than corresponding atoms, another difference is that cations are always smaller in size as compare to their respective atoms.
Positively charged atoms are drawn smaller than negatively charged atoms because the addition of electrons increases the electron-electron repulsion, causing the electron cloud to expand. This expansion leads to a larger size for negatively charged atoms. Conversely, the removal of electrons in positively charged atoms reduces this repulsion, resulting in a smaller size for these atoms in illustrations.
Cations are neutral atoms that have lost an electron or electron(s). They are positively charged. They are generally metals.
Simple cations are always smaller than the neutral atoms from which they were formed. This is because cations have lost electrons, leading to a reduction in electron-electron repulsion which allows the remaining electrons to be pulled closer to the nucleus, resulting in a smaller size.
Bromide ions are larger than bromine atoms because the ion has one more electron than the neutral atom. The extra electron is less tightly bound than the other electrons because it experiences a smaller effective nuclear charge. Other anions are also larger than their corresponding atoms for the same reason; cations, on the other hand, are smaller than their corresponding atoms because they have fewer electrons.
B. negative ions. Negative ions are formed when neutral atoms gain electrons, increasing their size due to the additional electron(s) while positive ions or cations are formed when neutral atoms lose electrons, reducing their size.
Cations are formed by atoms losing electrons, resulting in a positively charged ion. This occurs when atoms from metals and certain nonmetals give up electrons to achieve a stable electron configuration. The loss of electrons creates a deficiency of negative charge, leading to a positive charge on the cation.
Cations are formed when neutral atoms lose electrons, leading to a positive charge. This loss of electrons results in a higher number of protons compared to electrons in the atom, creating an overall positive charge.
