which is larger an atom or an element?

My Honda Element weighs over a ton so I am sure it is larger.

atoms are small particles of matter.
"elements" is how we group "like" atoms.

it's like asking the question..
.. "which is physically larger.. a grain of sand, or the method we use to sort sand by size"

***********
note IUPAC's definition
https://goldbook.iupac.org/html/C/C01022.html
.. "a chemical element is a SPECIES of atoms; all atoms with the same number of
... protons in the atomic nucleus."

they also continue on to say sometimes "chemical elements" applies to SPECIES and sometimes GROUPS of atoms of the same elements. Although that is true... i.e.. many instructors will call a group of atoms of the same element a chemical element.. or.. an "element".. that doesn't make it good practice. A better term would be "sample of pure element x". The sample is the physical entity, the element x is the species.

Element.

Element is the general designation of chemical substances.
Atom is the basic unit of a chemical element.
Atom is formed by proton, neutron and electron. Electron is the smallest atom among them.

So, you can't compare element with atom, there is no any comparison. This is sth requires knowledge.

a atom

Elements contain sm

Read back your question...

atoms and elements are not the same.
Atoms are the constituent unit of ordinary matter that has the properties of a element.
Element is the group of atoms.
Like atom of gold element.
Hope this can help you!

atoms

An element is one or more of a specific type of atom. Each element is composed of different atoms, which gives them their different traits. Therefore, the element is technically larger

An element is one or more atoms.
