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.

Why do two dark matter particles collide?

Not much is known about dark matter. It is fairly certain that it does exist, but not much more is known. Thus, any ideas on what would happen when two dark matter particles meet seem very speculative.


What are the characteristics of particles of matter?

1.particles of matter move continously2.particles of matter attract each other3.particles of matter have space between themThe above answers are questionable. #2 is just not true at all as a universal rule (2 protons for example will repel each other). So let me present these:All matter has mass (particle or otherwise)All matter has weight (as a result of having mass)All matter occupies space (even particles)All matter has densityAll matter has inertiaAll matter is impenetrable (this means two particles cannot occupy the same space)All matter is a form of energy. As proven by famous e=mc2Given 7, all matter is conserved (cannot be destroyed)There are more... but those are the big ones.


Which states of matter will pascal's princapal apply?

liquid and gas, the two states of matter that its particles can move past one another


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.

Do alpha particles gain energy as they ionize matter?

Yes alpha particles are matter. In fact they are just the nuclei of Helium atoms. That is Helium atoms without their two orbiting electrons. Alpha particles are therefore composed of two neutrons and two protons.


Which process do particles of matter release energy?

There are two main processes where particles of matter release energy. These two processes are known as freezing and condensation.


Is dust a matter?

I dont think dust is a matter. As matter requires these two properties, Space and MASS. A dust can only exhibit the property of space *this answer is an opinion*

What determines a materials state of matter?

The motion of the particles and the strength of attraction between the particles determine a material's state of matter.

Atoms and molecules... If that's what u meant


Are particles bigger than molecules?

No, particles are little parts of atoms that chooses what type of atom it will be.Such as gold or iron.Particles are electons,nuetrons and protons.The amount of each proton nuetron or electron also chooses what type pf atom it will be.A molicule is several atoms put together
