They are simply small because of the size of the pieces that make them up. Also, the electrons orbit the nucleus at the range they do because of the strength of the electromagnetic force. If this force were weaker, atoms would be larger.
Atoms are the only substance that contain the physical characteristics of the specific element so, if that be said, it is the smallest particle OF that element. Yes, there are smaller but they make up the actual substance and characteristics.
Because a nucleus fits in an atom, and if the nucleus were bigger than the atom, well, it just wouldn't fit. It's so small because protons and neutrons are incredibly small, and when they bunch together to form the nucleus, the nucleus is as small as a lot of protons and neutrons.
Atoms are so small that there are about 300 trillion of them in the head of a pin. Yeah, there pretty small.
YES! You can't even see them with the highest powered microscope in the world. We know about them by using some math formula. Treble Slur
Molecules are made up of two or more atoms bonded together, so molecules must be larger than atoms.
They are EXTREMELY small. They are some of the smallest things in existance.
because it is to small to be studied
It depends on the atoms which you're referring to. Some atoms are small (eg hydrogen) and some are large (ie plutonium) It depends on the atoms which you're referring to. Some atoms are small (eg hydrogen) and some are large (ie plutonium)
Atoms have protons, neutrons and electrons that are not visible with naked eyes. Infact, even atoms are too small to be seen with naked eyes.
Atoms could be identified by various technique. Single crystal X-ray diffraction is the most important in that.
No, Democritus was the first to think of atoms, Dalton thought the atom was an indestructible sphere.
Atoms are too small to see.
Because, atoms are so small they can fit on the tip of a pencil.
an atom because everything is made up of atoms!
All elements are composed of extremely small particles called atoms. Atoms are composed of protons, neutrons, and electrons.
Like all atoms they are tiny. Compared with other atoms, iron atoms are of medium size.

Everything would be huge if nothing was small :)
Atoms are the super small particles.
