electrons are elementary particles and thus not made of smaller particles. protons and neutrons are hadrons being made of three quarks.

What are the three pieces to an atom?

Proton = positive charge Neutron = neutral charge Electron = negative charge Please note that the basic parts of an atom do not include only the protons, neutrons and electrons. The basic parts are the nucleus and electron cloud. the protons and neutrons are essentially in the nucleus and the electrons are in the cloud surrounding the nucleus

Do smaller pieces of a solute will not dissolve as quickly as larger pieces?

Smaller pieces of a solute will dissolve more quickly than larger pieces. This is because the surface area of the smaller pieces is greater, allowing for more contact with the solvent and therefore faster dissolution.


Can you continually divide matter into smaller and smaller pieces without ever coming to an end true or false?

False. While matter can be divided into smaller and smaller pieces, there is a fundamental limit to this process. Atoms, which are the basic units of matter, can be further divided into subatomic particles (like protons, neutrons, and electrons), but eventually, you reach elementary particles that cannot be divided further according to current scientific understanding. Thus, there is an endpoint to how small matter can be divided.

What are the definition of atoms?

Atoms are defined as the smallest pieces of matter that contain the chemical properties of their respective elements (Argumentatively, one can say that electrons are the smallest piece of matter; however, they do not contain the chemical properties of whatever element(s) that they are in). Atoms contain three pieces of smaller matter: electron, proton, and neutron. Protons and neutrons compose the nucleus of the atom. Protons establish the identity of the element. Neutrons establish the isotope of the element. Meanwhile, electrons, which orbit the nucleus in the Electron Cloud, act as a basis of stabilization. Atoms can go through nuclear decay (gamma emission, positron emission, beta particle emission, alpha particle emission) in order reach a more balanced state when disturbed in the nucleus (radioactive decay).


What is the process of dissolving by breaking into smaller pieces is called?

The process of dissolving by breaking into smaller pieces is called dissolution. This is the process through which a solute makes a solution by breaking the solvent.
