Atoms are composed of protons, electrons and neutrons (save hydrogen-1, which lacks any neutrons). Protons and neutrons are baryons, which are made up of three quarks. Having said that, the quark, which is a fundamental particle, is smaller than an atom by a great deal. Further, the quark is smaller than either a proton or neutron, as both are made of three quarks. The electron is a fundamental particle, and it is smaller still than a quark.
When we look at the fundamental particles as they are described in the Standard Model, only the photon and gluon, which are force carriers, are smaller. It should be noted that the way we relate "smaller" in this case is by stating a mass-energy equivalence and describing the mass of the fundamental particles in terms of energy.

What subatomic particle has the same mass as a proton?
No two subatomic particles have the exact same mass. The proton and the neutron, however, come close. Neutrons are heavier than protons by only 2.3 X 10-30 kg. (Neutron: 1.674927351 x 10-27, Proton: 1.672621777 x 10-27)
What do bosons do?
Bosons are subatomic particles which have integer spin and obey Bose-Einstein statistics. There can be more than one boson at a given point in space with the same quantum state. Bosons are the force carriers. Known bosons are the photon (light), the gluon (strong force), the neutral weak force carrier, and the charged weak force carrier.
Is sternum the same thing as vertebrae?
No, the sternum is NOT the same thing as vertebrae. The sternum is the breastbone. Vertebra are in the spine.
Is making out and snoging the same thing?
Yes, Snogging, French Kissing, Making out and kissing are all generally the same thing.
What particles make up orange juice?
the same ones as make up you: protons, neutrons, and electrons.
Is there such thing as the subatomic universe?
Not in any meaningful way. There are certainly subatomic particles but they do not behave in the same manner as the universe we observe.
Which statement about subatomic particles is not true?
Subatomic particles are the same size as basketballs.
What two subatomic have about the same mass?
These particles are: proton and neutron.
What statements about subatomic particles?
Protons and neutrons have the same mass
What two subatomic particles comprise the nucleus of a atom?
the you and the stupid! oh wait that is the same thing!
What are the properties of 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
How are quark and subatomic particles the same?
All are particles of matter; quarks are the components of protons and neutrons and are considered as fundamental fermionic particles.
2 subatomic particles have the same charge?
Protons have positively charged particles, Electrons have negatively charged particles, and Neutrons don't have and charged particles
What are the subatomic particles of manganese?
Subatomic particles are the same for all substances that exist everwhere. So to ask "What are the subatomic particles of manganese?" is really not a good question. Manganese is an element. And like all elements, it is made up of atoms. Atoms are made up of.......subatomic particles! (Moledule)(Cation)(Ion)===>Element====>Atom====>Subatomic particle The are three basic subatomic particles: protons, electrons and neutrons. If you really want to get anal about it, you can also find out what neutrons are made up of. I would tell you, but I forgot!
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.

What two subatomic participles have about the same mass?
These particles are: proton and neutron.
Name the subatomic particles that the number of this particle is always the same as the atomic number?
The proton
