Category:
(Archaic) A small part of something written, such as a clause of a document.
A very small quantity; jot
A very small particle; a speck:
The definition of a jot is a tiny amount of something.
The definition of a grain is a tiny hard seed from a cereal grass, or a tiny piece of amount of something.
A minute amount; an iota or trace.
the smallest particle of an element
Particle in atomic physics
A group of two or more atoms linked together by sharing electrons in a chemical bond. Molecules are the fundamental components of chemical compounds and are the smallest part of a compound that can participate in a chemical reaction.

A unit of mass equal to1 /12 the mass of an atom of the most common isotope of carbon (carbon 12), which is assigned a mass of 12 and has a value of 1.660 × 10&spminus;24 grams. A hydrogen atom has a mass of 1 atomic mass unit since its mass is1 /12 the mass of carbon 12.

element (related)
The definition of an element is one of the substances that constitute all physical matter - wind, air, fire or water, or a natural environment.
The definition of a fragment is a small piece of something larger.
Any of various very small arachnids of the subclass Acari that often live as parasites on other animals or plants. Like ticks and unlike spiders, mites have no division between the cephalothorax and abdomen.

compound (antonym)
(Chemistry) A pure, macroscopically homogeneous substance consisting of atoms or ions of two or more different elements in definite proportions that cannot be separated by physical means. A compound usually has properties unlike those of its constituent elements.
ion isotope orbital (related)
The smallest unit of an element, consisting of at least one proton and (for all elements except hydrogen) one or more neutrons in a dense central nucleus, surrounded by one or more shells of electrons. In electrically neutral atoms, the number of protons equals the number of electrons. Atoms remain intact in chemical reactions except for the removal, transfer, or exchange of certain electrons.
subshell
(Chemistry, physics) Atomic orbitals for which the values of the n and l quantum numbers are the same, such as the three 2p or five 3d atomic orbitals.
