Well, they're probably not really particles ... but they're called "photons".

Which subatomic particles in an atom are made up of even smaller subatomic particles?
Some sub-atomic particles are composite particles. These particles are made from other 'smaller' particles. Examples are the particles that can be found in an atom's nucleus: protons and neutrons. Both these particles consist of 3 quarks. Elementary particles are particles that, at least to present knowledge, are not made from other particles. They are thus the fundamental building blocks from which everything is made, they are not made of anything, they just are. Examples are the electron and the photon.
What type of particles are protons neutrons and electron?
These subatomic particles are generally considered the building blocks of atoms. The electron is an elementary particle, while the proton and neutron are composite particles that are made up of quarks. Links can be found below for more information.
It is theorized that protons and nuetrons are actuall formed from a combination of smaller particles what are these particles called?
These particles are called quarks. (Protons made up of two up quarks and a down quark, neutrons made up of two down quarks and an up quark.)
What are referred to as the building blocks of matter?
The basic building block of matter is the atom. The properties of matter can be explained by understanding from which atoms are matter made of. We know that the atom is made of many smaller particles knows as electron, proton, and neutron.
What are all substances mainly made of?
All substances are made up of tiny particles called atoms.
The fact that light can exert a pressure on matter suggests that it is made of particles called .?
The particles of light are called photons.
The fact that light can exert a pressure on matter suggests that it is made of particles called?
The particles of light are called photons.
What does it mean when scientists say that quarks are elementary particles?
When scientists say that quarks are elementary particles it means that they are NOT made up of other particles.
What are the two parts of a subatomic particle?
Subatomic particles are made up of 2 parts; composite particles and elementary particles. The composite particles consist of the protons and neutrons comprised in an atom. The elementary particles have no substructure and are not made up of any other particles.
Outside light is called natural light what is inside light called?
It's the same thing as "outside light" and is made of the same particles, its just a different velocity of light
What light is made up of .?
Light is pure energy in the form of what we call Photons.
What is A particle not made up of other particles?
subatomic particleIn physics or chemistry, subatomic particles are the small particles composing nucleons and atoms. There are two types of subatomic particles: elementary particles, which are not made of other particles, and composite particles.
How may subatomic particles are?
atoms are made up of subatomic particles (protons, neutrons and electrons) there are a set of further elementary particles: quarks, leptons and bosons protons and neutrons are part of large family called hadrons. hadrons (baryons and meson) are made up of even smaller particles called quarks. muons and electrons are part of Leptons
What is the chemical Composition of solar light?
Light is made up of particles with wave properties called "photons". It has no chemical composition.
How did Aristotle help with discovering the atoms?
He theorized that all matter was made of indestructible elementary particles called atoms. We now know that Atoms are in turn made of smaller particles and are not indestructible, but he formed the very basis of modern atomic theory.
Are electron protons and nuetrons made of smaller pieces?
electrons are elementary particles and thus not made of smaller particles. protons and neutrons are hadrons being made of three quarks.
Is sound and light are made up of particles?
No because sound and light are created and you can not create something that is made up of particles
