In the atom this particle is the electron.
Generally in the particle physics: photons, gluons, neutrinos.
among these Electron has the least mass....
Subatomic particle
least - electron most - the top quark
An "element" is not a subatomic particle. Your question makes no sense and is therefore unanswerable.Another answer:Since an element is not a subatomic particle, the only answer can be a proton.
Hydrogen has the smallest atomic mass at roughly 1.008 grams per mol (6.02x10^23 atoms)
Matter
protone
The three main subatomic particles are the proton, neutron, and electron. Of these three, the electron has the least amount of mass at about 0.0005 amu or atomic mass units.
The neutron is the subatomic particle that has appreciable mass and lacks a charge.
The neutron is a subatomic particle that has mass nearly equal to that of a proton but carries no electrical charge.
An electron particle
Protons and neutrons have the mass of 1 amu.
