Answer: A representative particle can be an atom, and an ion. a molecule, or a formula unit.

Step-by-step explanation:

A representative particle is the smallest unit in which a substance naturally exists. For the majority of elements, the representative particle is the atom. Iron, carbon, and helium consist of iron atoms, carbon atoms, and helium atom, respectively.

Radon is a naturally occurring radioactive gas that is odorless and tasteless.


Atoms-the smallest particle of an element

Ions-atoms with positive or negative charges.

Molecules- two or more covalently bonded atoms.

Formula units- the simplest ratio of ions that make up an ionic compound.
