Particle is a generic term that can refer to any little thing from an electron to a quark to a proton to an atom to a molecules to a little speck of junk.

Relative to everyday experience, atoms are minuscule objects with proportionately tiny masses. Atoms can only be observed individually using special instruments such as the scanning tunneling microscope. Over 99.9% of an atom's mass is concentrated in the nucleus
