If it's in that many pieces, I think the word is vaporized.

Aerosolized. Starting from a couple dozen moles, you'd end up with quintillions of atoms in each piece, which would be solid, invisible to the naked eye, but visible under a microscope (about an order of magnitude larger than the average eukaryote).

Vaporization would imply a complete dissociation of all the atoms.

I think we're quite a few orders of magnitude short of that. "Disintegrated" or "aerosolized" are probably closer.
