Yes. Well, probably. As far as standing waves being the same thing as particles goes, there's an old saying from the old south " If it looks like a duck and it walks like a duck and it quacks like a duck, it's a duck." If the effect of being acted on by a standing-wave form is exactly the same as being struck by a particle, then it's a particle. As one of the philosophers said, "a difference that makes no difference is no difference."

Which is the smallest of the basic forms of subatomic particles?
Quark is the smallest particle ever discovered.
How the 3 subatomic particles discover?
Subatomic particles were discovered through experiments involving the interaction of matter with various forms of radiation, such as beta particles, gamma rays, and alpha particles. Scientists like J.J. Thomson, Ernest Rutherford, and James Chadwick played integral roles in the discovery of electrons, protons, and neutrons, respectively. Their contributions to the field of atomic and nuclear physics helped unravel the nature of subatomic particles and their properties.
Which subatomic particle breaks and forms particles?
Quarks are subatomic particles that break and combine to form other particles through the strong force, which is mediated by gluons. Quarks are held together by this force to form protons and neutrons, which are the building blocks of atomic nuclei.
What subatomic particles are electrons attracted to?
The electron has a negative charge, so it would attract and be attracted by particles of opposite/unlike charge (positive charge) such as protons.
What are the subtomic particles?
it is a particle smaller than an atom. usually the protons,neutrons,and electrons.
What does Planck's theory state?
Planck's theory of quantization states that energy is emitted or absorbed in discrete units called quanta. This theory forms the foundation of quantum mechanics and explains the behavior of particles on a subatomic scale.
What is energetic collision?
An energetic collision occurs when two or more particles collide with sufficient kinetic energy to produce various outcomes, such as the creation of new particles, the conversion of kinetic energy into other forms, or changes in the particles' velocities or energies. These collisions are important in fields such as particle physics, chemistry, and astrophysics for studying fundamental processes and interactions at the atomic and subatomic levels.
What is a nucleus that emits energy and particles spontaneously?
Any radioactive element gives off subatomic particles, and these particles carry considerable energy. That is the definition of radioactivity. Examples of radioactive elements include uranium, plutonium, polonium, radium, and many more.
What is quantum mechanics?
Quantum mechanics is the mathematical description of matter on an atomic and subatomic scale. It is focused around the wavefunction of a system. Wave functions contain all information about the system such as: momentum, position, angular momentum, energy, etc. This information can only be known by its respective probability distributions. The basis of quantum mechanics in the wave mechanics formulation is the Schrodinger equation, which has two forms: the time-dependent and the time-independent.Quantum mechanics is a branch of mechanics concerned with mathematical modelling of the interaction and motion of subatomic particles.
Does francium form an ion what is the charge and name of the ion. How do the subatomic particles -electrons- change when this element forms an ion?
As an alkali metal francium form the cation Fr+. A specific name doesn't exist. Transformation in a cation involve the loss of an electron.
Which forms of nuclear radiation are capable of ionizing matter?
Ionizing radiation consists of subatomic particles or electromagnetic waves that are energetic enough to detach electrons from atoms or molecules, ionizing them. The occurrence of ionization depends on the energy of the impinging individual particles or waves, and not on their number. An intense flood of particles or waves will not cause ionization if these particles or waves do not carry enough energy to be ionizing. Roughly speaking, particles or photons with energies above a few electron volts (eV) are ionizing. Examples of ionizing particles are energetic alpha particles, beta particles, and neutrons. The ability of electromagnetic waves (photons) to ionize an atom or molecule depends on their wavelength. Radiation on the short wavelength end of the electromagnetic spectrum - ultraviolet, x-rays, and gamma rays - is ionizing.
Why does heat and light doesn't have mass?
Heat and light do not have mass because they are forms of energy rather than matter. Mass is a property of matter that measures the amount of substance in an object, while heat and light are forms of energy that result from the movement and interactions of particles at the atomic or subatomic level.
