What else can I help you with?
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.
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.
Small units of matter are called molecules. When they are broken into smaller units what are they called?
When molecules are broken down into smaller units, they are called atoms. Atoms are the basic building blocks of all matter and cannot be further divided into smaller particles without losing their chemical properties.
What is scientific name of particles which make up matter?
The scientific name of particles that make up matter are atoms. Atoms are the basic building blocks of all matter and are composed of even smaller particles called protons, neutrons, and electrons.
What is smaller particle or cells?
Cells are smaller than particles. Cells are the basic structural and functional units of living organisms, while particles refer to tiny pieces of matter, which can include molecules, atoms, or subatomic particles.
Which tenet of Daltons atomic theory did Thomson disprove?
Atoms cannot be divided into smaller particles.
Are particles smaller then atoms?
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.
You know today that atoms CANNOT be divided into smaller parts?
Yes, atoms are the smallest unit of matter that retains the properties of an element. They consist of a nucleus made up of protons and neutrons, surrounded by electrons. Atoms can be further broken down into subatomic particles like quarks but this involves particle physics and not chemical reactions.
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.
Did JJ Thomson experiments that showed that atoms cannot be divided into smaller particles?
Yes, J.J. Thomson's experiments using cathode rays led to the discovery of the electron and the plum pudding model of the atom. This model suggested that atoms are not indivisible, but composed of smaller particles.
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.
What findings led JJ Thomson to infer that particles are smaller than atoms do exist?
Particles are smaller
