What is smaller then an atom?
Electrons for one, and protons and neutrons are composed of quarks
What is material made out of?
Material is made of atoms and molecules; molecules are made of atoms. Atoms are made of even smaller particles such as protons, neutrons, mesons and electrons. Protons, neutrons and mesons are made of even smaller particles named quarks. Research is ongoing to find what electrons and quarks are made of.
Are there any particles smaller than protons neutrons and electrons?
Electrons are fundamental particles and we can not actually measure the size of an electron (we know we will NEVER be able to). However the size of protons and neutrons can be measured and we know that these particles are made up of other, more fundamental particles which are probably smaller.
How may subatomic particles are?
atoms are made up of subatomic particles (protons, neutrons and electrons) there are a set of further elementary particles: quarks, leptons and bosons protons and neutrons are part of large family called hadrons. hadrons (baryons and meson) are made up of even smaller particles called quarks. muons and electrons are part of Leptons
Does atom is the smallest particle?
No, atom is not the smallest particle. Atoms are not even particles, but elements. Atoms are made up of 3 particles: Electrons, Protons, and Neutrons. The protons and neutrons are made up of even smaller particles known as quarks.
What is a atomicity?
Atoms are the basic units of matter and the defining structure of elements. ... We now know that Atoms are made up of three particles protons neutrons and electrons which are composed of even smaller particles such as quarks
Are composed of even smaller subatomic particles?
Protons and neutrons are composed from quarks and gluons.
Is an electron the smallest part of an element that can exist in a free state?
Yes, becasue there is nothing that makes them. That is as small as it gets! Although never experimental observed, quarks are the building blocks within hadrons such as protons and neutrons. Their size is speculative, but they are clearly smaller than a hadron. Neutrinos have far less mass than even electrons, and thus could be considered "smaller."
How is it possible that all atoms of an element have the same number of electrons and protons but don't have the same mass?
I think it is because Protons Neutrons and Electrons are comprised of even smaller particles such as quarks leptons etc... and there might be different amounts of those particles in each proton neutron etc...
Fundamental particle of an atom?
Protons and neutrons are found in the nucleus. While these are theoretically composed of quarks (conversely even more massive particles), quarks do not exist in a free state so are not "fundamental particles" by definition.
What particle is least massive?
The least massive principle atomic particle is the electron. Neutrons and protons are much more massive and are about equal in mass. Of course, there are even smaller particles such as quarks which are less massive than even electrons.
What makes up hydrogen?
Hydrogen is not made up of other elements, it is a pure element. However it is made up of protons, neutrons and electrons. These components are in turn made up of even smaller particles such as quarks.
