Were atoms named in the fifth century BCE.?
Yes! The Greek philosopher Democritus, born in 460 B.C., first theorized the smallest possible particle, and called it the atom. Of course, the definition of an atom has changed quite a bit (there is no such thing as a water atom!), and we know that even smaller particles exist, but Democritus was definitely thinking in the right direction.
How can we differentiate between atom and ion?
Atom is a smallest particle of an element that cannot exist in free state is called atom.A species having positive and negative charge is called ions.
A subatomic particle known as a pion has a lifespan of 000000026 seconds How long does the particle exist from the perspective of an observer if the particle moves past the observer at 67c?
000000035 seconds
Smallest piece of matter?
The smallest part of any chemical element that can exist is an atom of that element. The smallest part of a chemical compound that can exist is a molecule of that compound.
Which particle has the least mass and where is this particle located in the atom?
The smallest particles that have been discovered and that don't only exist in theory are the quarks. They are what make up protons, neutrons, all kinds of baryons, and a few other categories of particles. But there is a theory of smaller particles that make up quarks, electrons, and other particles that were previously believed to be fundamental (But, again, these particles only exist in theory). These particles are to be called "rishons" if discovered.
Why an atom is the tiniest particle of an element that can exist?
The idea is that if you divide it into anything smaller than an atom, it will no longer have the characteristics of that element.
What in an atom?
An atom is a particle, the smallest particle that can exist by itself.
What was the first subatomic particle discovered?
Subatomic particles are particles that are smaller than atoms. There are two different types of subatomic particles: elementary particles and composite particles. The first subatomic particle that was discovered was the electron. It was first theorized to exist by G. Johnstone Stoney in 1874 and was confirmed to exist in 1897 by J.J. Thomson.
Which particle never leaves or goes into an atom?
This particle doesn't exist.

What particle can exist alone and is smaller than any other?
A particle smaller than atom is a subatomic particle, protons , neutrons, and , electrons, the smallest one is an electron, smaller than that are point particles and elementary particles, one elementary particle and point particle is a quark, up quarks down quarks the smallest single thing found so far is a GLUON, which is the force which binds/holds quarks together. Where the devil lives in anti matter there are also atoms and subatomic particles and point particles but just anti, anti- GLUON, anti-QUARK, anti-ATOM, anti-SUBATOMIC PARTICLE. There is something called the string theory, and super string theory that theorizes about bosonic/boson strings but it can not be provine yet, and I think a gluon is still alot smaller than a bosonic/boson string if they are true.

What is another hypothetical particle that is supposed to be there in the space?
You have got the particle called as proton. You have got the particle called as anti-proton. One is having positive and another having negative charge. You have got the particle with no charge and about the same mass as that of proton. That is neutron.You have anti-neutron for the neutron. Then you have got the particle called as electron. You have got the particle called as positron. First is having negative and other having positive charge. It fallows that you have got the particle with about the same mass of electron and with no charge. It should be called as 'neuletron'. Like wise there has to be antiparticle of this 'neuletron'. It should be called as 'anti-neuletron'. Which will be far more difficult for you to detect.
What is a tachyon?
A particle that can move as fast or faster than light, it just can't move slower than light. This particle has not been proven to exist.it does exist but not in this universe it also been called god speed

If the mass of water is subdivided or vaporized the smallest particle able to exist physically which still retains the original composition of water is called?
This is the water molecule H2O.
