particle is a general term.

subatomic particles are smaller than atoms.

dirt particles, for example, are much bigger than atoms

Can atoms be made of smaller particles?

Yes - all atoms are made of smaller particles. Those particles are protons, neutrons, and electrons.


Can atoms be broken down into smaller particles?

Yes, atoms can be broken down into smaller particles called subatomic particles, such as protons, neutrons, and electrons.


Does particles have particles?

In a way they do, but even smaller "particles" are called atoms.


Can atoms be divided into smaller particles?

Yes, atoms can be divided into smaller particles called subatomic particles, which include protons, neutrons, and electrons. These subatomic particles are the building blocks of atoms and cannot be further divided into smaller particles in traditional chemical reactions.


What are ubatomic particles?

I'm not sure what "ubatomic particles" are. If you may be referring to subatomic particles, these are particles that are smaller than atoms, such as electrons, protons, and neutrons. They are the building blocks of atoms.


Can a atom divide into smaller particles?

Atoms consist of a nucleus made up of protons and neutrons, surrounded by electrons. Atoms can undergo nuclear reactions, such as fission or fusion, which can split the nucleus into smaller particles. However, in normal chemical reactions, atoms do not divide into smaller particles.


A colliod has smaller particles than a solution?

No, a solution has much smaller particles than a colloid. In a solution the particles are individual atoms, molecules, or ions.

Are particles and atoms the same thing?

No, particles and atoms are not the same thing. Atoms are the basic building blocks of matter, while particles refer to smaller components that make up atoms, such as protons, neutrons, and electrons.

What are atoms made of. proton clouds subatomic particles smaller atoms smaller molecules?

Atoms are made up of subatomic particles, primarily protons, neutrons, and electrons. Protons and neutrons form the nucleus at the center of the atom, while electrons orbit around the nucleus in electron clouds. These subatomic particles are not themselves made of smaller atoms or molecules, but protons and neutrons are composed of even smaller particles called quarks. Thus, atoms are the fundamental building blocks of matter, consisting of these subatomic components.


Are there atoms within atoms?

No, atoms are the smallest unit of matter that retains the properties of an element. Atoms are made up of protons, neutrons, and electrons, which are subatomic particles. There are no smaller particles within an atom.
