To severely oversimplify it but remain accurate: quarks, leptons, intermediate vector bosons, and neutrinos. Every type of fundamental particle belongs to one of these categories, all particles in these categories are point particles (occupy zero volume).
Protons, Neutrons, and Electrons.
GrowtheTruth says:
Atoms are made up of 3 different kind of constituent particles: electrons (negatively charged), protons (positively charged) and neutrons (neutral).
Electrons are the least massive. Protons and neutrons bind to create a tiny atomic nucleus that are collectively called nucleons.
Protons and neutrons, however, are also composed of even smaller elementary particles called "quarks".

Actually there are 3 small particles that are normally listed: neutrons and protons in the nucleus of an atom and electrons that exist in "orbitals" tied to the nucleus.
No, atoms are not the smallest particles of matter. Atoms are the smallest pieces of a chemical element, but atoms are made of even smaller particles. We know that neutrons, protons and electrons make up atoms. And there are even smaller particles when we begin to look at what is called the particle zoo.

The particles that make up matter are unchanged during physical, or chemical changes. Matter can neither be created nor destroyed, only transformed.

There are a few different particles that make up matter. Some of them are called quarks, electrons and leptons.
Particles that make up matter are in a state of constant motion.
The same particles of matter that make up a solid are also the same particles of matter that make up a gas or a liquid. Basically matter consists of atoms. At the simplest level, the particles of atoms are electrons, protons and neutrons.

No. Light is a form of energy. Matter has mass. Light has no mass.
Yes. They are sub-atomic particles. In other words they make up parts of atoms.

Up quarks, down quarks and electrons make up atoms (matter).
