The subatomic particle that can jump (technically it doesn't move, the technical term is jump since it moves so fast that it will go from one place to another without passing through the space in between) is an electron.
First of all, electrons are NOT the smallest sub-atomic particles. Neutrinos are at least a million times less massive than electrons.
Secondly, there is no reason WHY electrons are the mass they are. They just ARE that weight.

False:
* neutrinos are not considered as atomic particles
* the second argument is not significant in this case
That's mainly due to the fact that the electron is much lighter (less massive) than protons or neutrons. Also, protons and neutrons are held together by the strong force, which does not affect the electron.
Because it is a low-mass, high-energy particle, and under the right conditions it can be dislodged from its orbital shell.
Electrons are the only subatomic molecules that can move because they are 1847 times lighter than protons or neutrons.
Electrons only.
Usually, only electrons participate in chemical reations. The other subatomic particles play a larger role in nuclear chemistry.
Electrons
The subatomic particles that contribute most almost no weight to an atom are electrons at various energy levels. Isotopes of the same element differ from each other only by the number of neutrons.
Electrons
Electrons only.
The only subatomic particles that exist in an atom are protons, neutrons, and electrons.
Usually, only electrons participate in chemical reations. The other subatomic particles play a larger role in nuclear chemistry.
Electrons
Electrons are the only subatomic particles which are not part of the nucleus. The others, protons and neutrons, are.
The only subatomic particle that has any role in chemistry is the electron.
Of the hundreds of subatomic particles, many have an electric charge. The best-know particle with a positive charge is the proton. Subatomic particles are considered only protons, neutrons, electrons. The other particles form the large group of elementary particles (which includes also p, n and e).
The nucleus of an atom contains only protons and neutrons. Electrons orbit the nucleus.
No, neutrons are found within the nucleus. The only subatomic particles outside the nucleus are electrons, and they don't really orbit.
A molecule contains atoms e.g. water (H2O) The atoms, ( hydrogen and oxygen, and all other atoms) contain protons, neutrons in the nucleus of the atoms and electrons in energy shells around the nucleus. Protons, neutrons and electrons are sub-atomic particles.
The only matter in a stable element is at least one of each of the two stable electrically charged subatomic particles, protons and electrons, and except for an atom of the isotope hydrogen-1, at least one neutron, the uncharged stable subatomic particle. The numbers of protons and electrons must be the same. Artificial elements may contain other subatomic particles such as positrons. (The subatomic particles themselves are considered to be composed of quarks, which could be called sub-subatomic particles, but quarks are not usually considered to be matter since they can not exist in isolation for more than very small fractions of a second.)
