What are properties that vary among subatomic particles?

The atom is the smallest part of matter that represents a particular element. For quite a while, the atom was thought to be the smallest part of matter that could exist. But in the latter part of the 19th century and early part of the 20th, scientists discovered that atoms are composed of certain subatomic particles and that, no matter what the element, the same subatomic particles make up the atom. The number of the various subatomic particles is the only thing that varies. Scientists now recognize that there are many subatomic particles (this really makes physicists salivate). But in order to be successful in chemistry, you really only need to be concerned with the three major subatomic particles: Protons Neutrons Electrons


What is scientific name of particles which make up matter?

molecules or atoms


Each fundamental atomic particle has an opposite particle. A collision of these opposites will result in the annihilation of each particle. What are these types of particles called?

Anti-particles. In the case of the (normal negatively-charged) electron, the anti-particle has a specific name; the positron. Since normal particles are the building blocks of matter, a collection of anti-particles are termed "anti-matter".

What did Democritus think the atom was?

Democritus' atomic theory states that atoms are indivisible. That's why they have their name. Atoms is a plural of atom. Atom derives from Atoms. Atoms is greek for INDIVISIBLE. His theory states that atoms cannot be divided any further.
