Compounds are made up of elements that exist in a fixed proportion.  These elements are composed of atoms.  Now, the atom has subatomic particles (proton, neutron and electrons), however, these particles lack the ability to take part in chemical reactions by themselves; the smallest unit of a compound that can take part in a chemical reaction, therefore, is an ATOM. 

Thus, an AT<span>OM is the smallest unit of a compound that retains the unique properties of the compound</span>

What is the electron configuration of an element with atomic number 20? A. 1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p5 B. 1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p6 C. 1s2 2s2
Cerrena [4.2K]

D.  The number of electrons equals the atomic number for a neutral element.  Each number after the letter refers to the number of electrons in that shell.  So for D, 2+2+6+2+6+2 = 20 electrons, which is equal to the atomic number.
