The smallest particle of any substance is called as the atom. The atom is made up of electrons, protons, and neutrons.
Hydrogen peroxide (H₂O₂) is a chemical compound of hydrogen and oxygen , is colorless liquid with characteristic odor and slightly acid taste. It is an oxidizing agent i.e., it is a substance that releases oxygen.
Dilute H₂O₂ can be made directly from hydrogen and oxygen in small quantities. Also, Oxygen is hydrogenated to form H₂O₂ in a reaction catalysed by bimetallic compounds consisting of palladium.
H₂ + O₂ → H₂O₂
Therefore, the smallest particle of H₂O₂ can be considered as the Hydrogen and oxygen atoms.

The simplified overall equation for the process is:-
H₂ + O₂ → H₂O₂
Therefore, the smallest particle of H₂O₂ can be considered as the Hydrogen and oxygen atoms.

I just took this test and I thought it was oxygen atom but I guess it's hydrogen atom. Because it's H2 + O2 equals H202
