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.

Is there anything smaller than an atom?

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.


What can be possible reason for matter prevailing over antimatter?

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.


Are electrons larger than protrons?

No. Actually electrons are almost 2,00X smaller. About 1,600 or something.


Are electrons protons or neutrons the smallest particles if not what arew?

protons/neutrons are made of quarks which are smaller than electrons. electrons are smaller than protons and neutrons.


Microscopic particles of matter that are smaller than molecules?

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)


Microscopic particles of matter that are smaller than a molecule?

These are atoms, which are the basic building blocks of matter and contain protons, neutrons, and electrons. Atoms combine to form molecules.


Are electrons bigger than protons neutrons?

No they're smaller than protons and electrons


Is protons smaller than a electron?

Electrons are smallest


Is proton smaller than electron?

Electrons are smallest


Are photons smaller than electrons?

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.


What is a microscopic particles of matter that are smaller than molecules?

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.


Is nucleus smaller than atom?

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!!)
