Can a sub atomic particle have no mass?
Yes. Neither photons nor gluons have a rest mass. Assuming gravitons exist, they would also be massless. The only gauge particles that we know of that have mass are the W and Z bosons, which are the gauge particles for the weak force. (it's possible that "dark energy" is a fifth force with its own gauge particles; if so, these gauge particles could be either massless or not).The mass of neutrinos is so small that for a long time it wasn't known whether they were massless or not. (The observation of neutrino oscillation tells us that they do have mass; we still don't know exactly what their masses are, we just know it can't be precisely zero.)All subatomic particles, even photons and gluons, have a ''relativistic'' mass, however. This is their energy expressed as a mass-equivalent (according to E = mc2).
What is bigger gas particles or smoke particles?
smoke particles are bigger than gas particles.
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.
How can you describe the motion of the particles in a solid?
The particles are tightly packed so they vibrate.
Does gas have fast moving particles?
yes. gas has the fastest moving particles and a solid has the slowest moving particles and particles in a liquid are moving faster than solid particles but not as fast as gas particles.
What doesn't have mass?
There are three known massless particles. Gauge bosons, gluons, and photons.
What are gauge bosons?
Gauge bosons are elementary particles (subatomic particles). An elementary particle is a substance that can not be broken down anymore. So to answer your question: Gauge bosons are the forces of what makes up nature. For example: Photon=electromagnetic force, gluon=strength, z and w bosons=weakness and gravitons=gravity (not yet observed). The different particles can be found on the Elementary particle table. I hope this partially answers your question.
Are gamma rays negative?
No. The gauge particles for electromagnetic radiation, photons, do not carry an electronic charge.
Are Gamma Ray's negatively charged?
No. The gauge particles for electromagnetic radiation, photons, do not carry an electronic charge.
What is the simplest type of substance and cannot be broken down?
Quarks, gluons and gauge bosons are the simplest particles currently discovered.
Are Gravitons sub atomic particles?
Yes, Gravitons are hypothetical sub-atomic particles / gauge bosons. These bosons are predicted to behave similarly to photons, having zero rest mass and infinite range, their force is predominant over very large distances. Like all gauge bosons, these are the mediators of what we experience as "force".

All elements are composed of extremely small particals called?
...elementary particles... quarks, leptons, and gauge bosons electrons protons and neutrons
Does matter have to have mass to take up space?
Yes, but not all particles have to have mass. remember that those particles (photons... etc) aren't matter at all but gauge bosons. Gauge bosons occupy a single zero-dimentional point (except for when it's a wave; see particle-wave duality), because they have no mass, and thus don't take up space.
Do photons conduct electricity?
No. Electricity is the movement of electrons, and photons have no electrons to move. Photons are the gauge particles for the electromagnetic force, but that's a different concept.
What is a higgs bosson?
A Higgs Boson is a particle that is hypothesised to give other particles their mass. All fields have gauge particles, or bosons, for example, the electromagnetic field's boson is the photon. Peter Higgs' theory was that all particles that have mass are interacting with a sea of Higgs particles, and it was this interaction that gave these particles their mass. The Large Hadron Collider at CERN recently discovered a Higgs-like particle at a mass of around 125 Gigaelectronvolts.
Can charged bodies exert forces even at a distance?
Yes. The gauge particles for the electromagnetic force are (massless) photons, so there's no distance limit to electromagnetic interactions.
