what is the smallest unit of a compound

OpenStudy (roadjester):

A chemical compound is a chemical substance that is made of of two or more elements bonded together. So the smallest unit would be an atom. For example \[H_2O\] is made up of two hydrogen atoms and one oxygen atom.

OpenStudy (farcher):

You could read the question as asking for the smallest unit of the compound and the compound still being uniquely defined and then the answer would be a molecule?
