Although dark matter is a somewhat nascent subject, theoretic work attempting to put a lower limit on its granularity currently would tend to indicate a it has a definite spatial extent, i.e., a nonzero size. Since the electron in quantum theory is regarded as a dimensionless point with no spatial extent one might be compelled to conclude No, dark matter can't be smaller than zero. In classical theory it was generally believed the electron had a specific radius, and theory about both dark matter and unresolved issues about electron size means it may be too early to reach a scientific consensus on the subject.
Atoms are considered the smallest unit of matter, made up of protons, neutrons, and electrons. Subatomic particles like quarks and leptons make up protons, neutrons, and electrons, but are not considered smaller than an atom.
well.. it might have something to do with that protons are bigger than electrons in matter and that works out better than antimatter where positrons are the smaller in mass.
No. Actually electrons are almost 2,00X smaller. About 1,600 or something.
protons/neutrons are made of quarks which are smaller than electrons. electrons are smaller than protons and neutrons.
atoms, then protons and neutrons smaller, then electrons smaller again. Atoms are not microscopic though (unless you consider a very strong electron microscope, and at this, it is a push)
These are atoms, which are the basic building blocks of matter and contain protons, neutrons, and electrons. Atoms combine to form molecules.
No they're smaller than protons and electrons
Electrons are smallest
Electrons are smallest
Yes, photons are smaller than electrons. Photons are elementary particles that have no mass and are considered to be point-like particles, while electrons have mass and are considered to be fundamental particles with a measurable size.
A submicroscopic particle is an entity that is too small to be viewed by any visible means (Including our most powerful microscopes) and can only be determined to BE by mathematical equation.
An atom comprises an atomic nucleus with orbiting electrons. So the nucleus is smaller than an atom. To phrase it the opposite way, an atom is alwys larger than the nucleus (of the same atom of course!!)
