Answer:

A particle you cannot see with your eyes

Step-by-step explanation:

An atom is the smallest indivisible particle of an element. It is the particle that determines the chemical properties of an element. However, an atom is a very small-sized particle, of about 10^-10m.

Based on how small a particle is, it cannot be seen with the naked eyes and hence, requires that one uses a microscope to view it.
