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.

∙ 9y agoFirst 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

∙ 8y agoThat'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.

∙ 13y agoBecause it is a low-mass, high-energy particle, and under the right conditions it can be dislodged from its orbital shell.

∙ 14y agoElectrons are the only subatomic molecules that can move because they are 1847 times lighter than protons or neutrons.

What subatomic particles are you using in nuclear chemistry?
Electrons only.
Do All the subatomic particles participate in chemical reactions?
Usually, only electrons participate in chemical reations. The other subatomic particles play a larger role in nuclear chemistry.
Electrical current is defined as the movement of which subatomic particles?
Electrons
What subatomic particle contributes alomst no weight to an atom?
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.
Only subatomic particle NOT found in the nucleus?
Electrons
What subatomic particles are you using in nuclear chemistry?
Electrons only.
How many subatomic particles are present in an atom except proton neutron electron and what are they?
The only subatomic particles that exist in an atom are protons, neutrons, and electrons.
Do All the subatomic particles participate in chemical reactions?
Usually, only electrons participate in chemical reations. The other subatomic particles play a larger role in nuclear chemistry.
Electrical current is defined as the movement of which subatomic particles?
Electrons
An atomic particle not in the nucleus is a?
Electrons are the only subatomic particles which are not part of the nucleus. The others, protons and neutrons, are.
Where in the atom do you find each of the subatomic particles?
The only subatomic particle that has any role in chemistry is the electron.
What are positiely charged subatomic particles?
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).
What three subatomic particles are found in the nucleus?
The nucleus of an atom contains only protons and neutrons. Electrons orbit the nucleus.
Is a neutron in the nucleus of a atom?
No, neutrons are found within the nucleus. The only subatomic particles outside the nucleus are electrons, and they don't really orbit.
What are the three subatomic particles of a molecule?
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.
What matter is in an element?
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.)
What subatomic particles are the only charged particles in the nucleus of an atom?
Protons
