Best Answer

yes, electrons, neutrons and proton

There are also other particles, such as quarks, but these are generally not discussed until you get into high level physics.

What are the subatomic particals?

Subatomic particles are parts of the building blocks of our world. Atoms house protons, neutrons and electrons which are key examples of subatomic particles. Protons, neutrons and electrons themselves are made of even smaller blips called quarks. These minute objects build up the world and control various things like the states of an object, whether it is hot or cold and other key natural events.


Is an atom made of smaller particles?

Yes. Atoms are made of electrons (which are fundamental particles) and also protons and neutrons (both of which are baryons, made up of three quarks each; quarks are also fundamental particles).


What are Dalton points in the atomic theory?

daltons atomic postulations stated that: * Elements are made of tiny particles called atoms. * All atoms of a given element are identical. * The atoms of a given element are different from those of any other element; the atoms of different elements can be distinguished from one another by their respective relative weights. * Atoms of one element can combine with atoms of other elements to form chemical compounds; a given compound always has the same relative numbers of types of atoms. * Atoms cannot be created, divided into smaller particles, nor destroyed in the chemical process; a chemical reaction simply changes the way atoms are grouped together.


What is the definition of a subatomic particle?

sub-atoms are protons neutrons and electronYesterday at night 7.00 pm I founded the sub-atomic law which clearly reveals the laws of sub-atomsSo i think you can add my sub-atomic law and make it as one theory called sub-atomic theory


Do particles pop in and out of existence?

Yes! Particles and atoms and ever larger assemblages of atoms. All this is a consequence of quantum mechanics.

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.

Can atoms be subdivided?

Atoms are the smallest particles of matter. An atom can not be divided by normal chemical means, they can only be divided during nuclear fusion.


What is the nuclear reaction called when atoms split?

The nuclear reaction when atoms split is called fission. Fission is where atoms split into smaller particles or atoms.
