No

It is not true that atoms are the smallest particles in the planets.

The smallest particles are electrons, protons, neutrons, and others.

You are right in saying that atoms aren't the smallest constituents of matter, however protons and neutrons aren't either! In fact, both protons and neutrons are made out of quarks.

False. An atom is the smallest particle of an element, but the smallest particle in an atom (that we know of) is a gluon.

No. That would be an atom, or at least it is the smallest particle of any matter you will encounter in everyday life.

Are atoms made up of sub-atomic particles?

yup, lots of them.


What are the smallest particles smaller than the 3 subatomic particles?

A particle smaller than atom is a subatomic particle, protons , neutrons, and , electrons, the smallest one is an electron, smaller than that are point particles and elementary particles, one elementary particle and point particle is a quark, up quarks down quarks the smallest single thing found so far is a GLUON, which is the force which binds/holds quarks together. Where the devil lives in anti matter there are also atoms and subatomic particles and point particles but just anti, anti- GLUON, anti-QUARK, anti-ATOM, anti-SUBATOMIC PARTICLE. There is something called the string theory, and super string theory that theorizes about bosonic/boson strings but it can not be provine yet, and I think a gluon is still alot smaller than a bosonic/boson string if they are true. HOPE THIS HELPS


What was Dalton's four proposals or therories?

Elements are made of tiny particles called atomsAll atoms of a given element are identical (Proven wrong)The atoms of a given element are different from any other element (Not completely true)Atoms of one element can combine with atoms of another element to form chemical compounds


What is true of the particles of a gas?

Well, as far as I know, all particles are made of molecules which in turn are made of atoms which again in turn are made of protons, electrons and neutrons. Going further, the protons and neutrons are made of quarks, electrons are a fundamental particle and therefore not made of anything. However, there are some gases, the noble gases (helium, neon, argon, krypton, xenon, radon) that are found naturally as single atoms. Therefore, particles of a gases might be "molecules" or "atoms," depending on the gas.


Is there any new found particles which is smaller than quarks?

YES , A GLUON A particle smaller than atom is a subatomic particle, protons , neutrons, and , electrons, the smallest one is an electron, smaller than that are point particles and elementary particles, one elementary particle and point particle is a quark, up quarks down quarks the smallest single thing found so far is a GLUON, which is the force which binds/holds quarks together.

Is Mars the smallest?

Mars is not the smallest planet because Pluto is. Though, scientists now say that Pluto is no longer a true planet. That makes Mercury the smallest planet in our Solar System.


Electrons are the smallest particle of an element that retains the original characteristics of the element?

No. This is a definition of an atom. Electrons are only part of atoms.


The second smallest planet?

Mercury is now the smallest 'true' planet in our solar system. Pluto was the smallest planet before the definition of a planet was revamped. Now, if you include dwarf and minor planets, the next biggest is Eris.


What are things that are true about particles in a solid?

Atoms are in a solid but as in particles it depends on the object.

True or falseAn atom is always considered an element?

True. Atoms are the smallest units of an element therefore making all atoms elements.


Why doesn't the atmosphere of the giant planets escape into space?

Gas particles (atoms, molecules) composing the atmosphere of a planet have a mass, therefore they are trapped by the gravitational field of the planet. This is not only true for giant planets but applies to all planets with atmosphere.

Is Mars the smallest planet in the solar system?

Neither - Mercury is the smallest planet in our Solar System at 0.055 Earth masses and Jupiter is the largest planet in our Solar System at 318 Earth masses (e.g. which is 2.5 times the mass of all the other planets put together).
