Lepton is the common name given to electron, positron, neutrino, antinuetrino, mu-meson [muon] etc. So an atom has these elementary particles within and come out in specific circumstances.

Is a neutron smaller than an atom?
An atom is larger than a neutron; a neutron is a part of any atom except a hydrogen atom.
What part of the atom do valence electrons occur in?
The valence electrons occur in what part of the atom?
What describes the nucleus of the atom?
its the greatest part of an atom
What part of an atom determines the isotope of an atom?
Neutron
What part of an atom are stationary?
The nucleus of the atom is stationary.
Why is the mass of an element not added to the atomic mass of an atom?
Because the electron is a lepton, and is not made of quarks.
Which of these is NOT a subatomic particle found in atoms?
That should be the lepton. The electronic lepton (e-) to be accurate. More information: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lepton
What is the smallest part of an element that retains the properties of the element atoms lepton or quark?
The smallest particle that retains the properties of an element is an atom. Quarks and leptons are just a family of elementary particles and do not carry any properties of the element.
Smallest part of a pure substance?
If the pure substance is not an element, the smallest part is a molecule (which is made of atoms) for instance, pure water is made of water molecules, which are made of 2 hydrogen atoms and 1 oxygen atom If the pure substance is an element, the smallest part is an atom. (which is made of Protons, Neutrons, and Electrons) Pure hydrogen is made of atoms. A stable hydrogen atom has 1 proton, 1 neutron, and 1 electron. Protons and Neutrons can be broken down further into Quarks, Leptons, and Bosons. The Electron is a type of Lepton.
Who invented the lepton?
jb
What is an unstable lepton?
muon
How are the wavelength and spin of a lepton related?
Lepton wavelength and spin are not related. Leptons have a spin of 1/2 regardless of wavelength.
Is a molecule part of a atom?
no an atom is a part of a molecule.
What do electrons have in them?
There is currently no scientific evidence for any constituents of an electron. So, for now, the electron is a lepton (a lepton is any fundamental particle).
What sub atomic particles has a negative charge?
Electrons, down quarks, strange quarks, bottom quarks, muon lepton, and tau lepton all have negative charge. Also, the boson can be negative.
What was equal to one hundredth of a drachma?
Lepton
What is the smallest part of an element that is still that element?
The smallest part of an element that still retains its properties is an atom.
