What is the most subatomic particle?

The are 16 fundamental particles that we know of. Everything you see around you is made up of a few of these. Up qarks and down quarks make up the nucleus of an atom and are held together by gluons which are force carrier particles. The electrons that go anound the nucleus to make the atom are also fundamental particles and these are held in place by photons which are also force carrier paticles.


What makes Strong nuclear and weak nuclear different?

It sounds like you are referring to the universal forces. The 'Nuclear Force' refers to two of the four known universal forces (the others are gravity and electromagnetism).The 'Strong Nuclear Force' (SNF) refers to the force that holds the atomic nucleus together against the electromagnetic force of repulsion caused by the positively charged protons. The force carrier particles for the SNF are the gluon particles.The 'Weak Nuclear Force' (WNF) refers to the force that causes radioactive decay of 'unstable' atomic nuclei. The force carrier particles for the WNF are the w+, w-, and z0 particles.- All according to the [Standard Model] of physics.


What do bosons do?

Bosons are subatomic particles which have integer spin and obey Bose-Einstein statistics. There can be more than one boson at a given point in space with the same quantum state. Bosons are the force carriers. Known bosons are the photon (light), the gluon (strong force), the neutral weak force carrier, and the charged weak force carrier.


What is the force that acts on subatomic particles?

I think it might be electrostatic force! This is the force that acts between the particles!


What hold 3 quarks together?

There quarks are held together to make up protons and neutrons. They are held together by the strong force (one of the four fundamental forces.) The strong force is created by the quarks exchanging force carrier particles called gluons.


What is there in the empty space inside an atom except the electrons and their shells?

Nothing except for the force carrier particles that are responsible for all of the forces in the atom. These particles are called virtual particles and do not necessarily exist, but they are responsible for particle interactions. The space is simply that- space; it can be interpreted as a vacuum or simply said to be nothing.


VWhat is the term for the force between charged particles?

The force between two charged particles is called the coulomb force.


Are Gluons particles?

Yes. They are hypothetical-force particles.


What is a force that results from charged particles called?

The force due to the charges themselves is an electrostatic force.If the particles are also either moving or spinning, the force is a magnetic force.Both types of force are transferred between the charged particles by particles called virtual photons.


Why gravitational force is present between nucleus?

Gravitational force should exist between ANY pair of particles; but for individual particles, this force is extremely weak. It is the cumulative effect of lots of particles attracting each other that causes an enormous force between you and Earth, Sun and Earth, etc.Gravitational force should exist between ANY pair of particles; but for individual particles, this force is extremely weak.

What is in everything that takes up space?

Bosons, for example light particles (photons), don't take up space. Bosons and fermions are the two different classes of fundamental particles. Fermions take up space. Now particles with mass don't always take up space, for example the force carrier particles of the weak nuclear force, they are bosons and therefore take up no space but they are quite massive (for particles).
