I believe the answer is:

This clue is a double definition.
'smallest particle' is the first definition.
(I've seen this before)
'an element' is the second definition.
(thesaurus)
'of' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for atom that I've seen before include 'Smallest particle in an element able to take part in a chemical reaction', 'little amount', 'Smallest component of an element', 'A cat,', 'Bit of make-up'.)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian and The Telegraph.

Profiling viewer. An atom is the smallest particle of an element still having the same chemical properties of the element.

Smallest Particle Of An Element Crossword

A compound can be broken down into molecules. To be specific,a molecular compound can be broken down into molecules and ionic compounds can be broken down into units,which you can consider as molecules of an ionic compound. The smallest particle of a compound capable of existing on its own is a Molecule-not a atom. An atom is the smallest particle capable of existing on its own of an ELEMENT. And yes,atoms can be further broken down into electrons,neutrons and protons.
Electrons are indivisible.
Protons and neutrons can be further divided into quarks.
Quarks are indivisible.
Since quarks and electrons are indivisible,they are called fundamental units. Note: Quarks,electons,protons,neutrons are incapable of individual existance.
