Is the atom the smallest possible object?

Answer 1

at the moment, the smallest thing in the universe known to man is the neutrino, with a mass of less than 0. this is the opposite of an electron. electrons are one of the three main things that make up atoms.

Answer 2

No, an atom is not the smallest particle in the world.

Atoms are made up of protons, neutrons, and electrons. And it is speculated that those particles are made up of smaller ones called quarks.

Answer 3

An atom is not the smallest particle of matter. Atoms are made up of protons, neutrons and electrons, all of which are (obviously!) smaller than the atom itself. Electrons are regarded as fundamental particles, but protons and neutrons are believed to be composed of three quarks, held together by gluons. All of these particles are millions of times smaller than atoms, and there is no guarantee that they don't comprise even smaller particles...

Answer 4

Atoms are not the smallest possible objects. Atoms are made up of protons, neutrons, and electrons. Subatomic particles like quarks and leptons make up protons, neutrons, and electrons. These subatomic particles are currently considered to be some of the smallest known building blocks of matter.

Answer 5

So far, the atom is the smallest object that scientists have discovered. -Usyflad10

Answer 6

no not at all. atoms are made up of subatomic particles like electrons and protons and neutrons.

and then sub atomic are made from things called quarks
