atom - the smallest particle of an element that has all of the properties of that
chemical reaction - the process in which two or more substances combine to make one or more new substances that have different properties from the original
compound - a substance made up of a combination of two or more elements held together by chemical bonds that cannot be separated by physical means. The smallest particle of any compound is a
