Your answer would be B) An oxygen atom


The smallest particle representing any chemical compound is called a molecule. Chemical compounds are composed of molecules, all of which are identical. In the case of hydrogen peroxide, the molecule will be H2O2. It can also be observed that the chemical formula of a compound is the same as the formula of one of its molecules.
