False that atom is the smallest identifiable unit of a compound.
The smallest identifiable unit of a compound is the Element. Element is the one which make up the compound and element is made up by atoms. Example of element is oxygen and hydrogen which make up water (H2O) which is a compound.

Answer:
The correct statements that you must check are:
- The oxygen atom has a greater attraction for electrons than the hydrogen atom does (second statement).
- The electrons of the covalent bond are not shared equally between the hydrogen and oxygen atoms (fourth statement).
Explanation:
Electronegativity is the relative ability of an atom to pull the electrons in a covalent bond.
Hydrogen has an electronegativity of 2.20 and oxygen has 3.44. That means that oxygen attracts the electrons more strongly than hydrogen does (second statement).
As consequence, the electrons in the covalent bond H - O of water are not shared equally (fourth statement): the electron density will be higher around the O atoms.
Of course, this discards the statement telling that hydrogen atom attracts electrons much more strongly than the oxygen atom, and the statement telling that hydrogen and oxigen have same electronegativity.
Such difference in electron densities creates a dipole moment, so you discard the last statement (that the water dipole moment is equal to zero).
The correct answer is that a compound that donates protons.
On the basis of Bronsted-Lowry concept, a compound which accepts proton is considered as a base and the compound which donates protons is considered to be an acid. The strong acids and bases get ionized completely in aqueous solution, while the weak acids and weak bases get ionize partially.
The conjugate base is illustrated as the species that is produced after the loss of proton of acid, while the conjugate acid refers to the species that is produced after the gain of protons.
Thus, the Bronsted-Lowry definition of an acid is a compound that donates protons.
