That would be a molecule as the smallest unit of most compounds.

A compound is a substance that consists of two or more elements which have undergone a chemical reaction in its formation. After the chemical reaction, a compound cannot be broken down into its components by physical means.

The smallest distinguishable unit of the compound is the molecule resulting from the reaction.
