electron 9.11X10-28g then proton with 1.67X10-24g then alpha particle with four times the mass of a proton

What are the changes on each subatomic particle?
Do you mean Charges? There is the Proton which has a positive or + charge. An electron which has a negative or - charge. And a nuetron that has no charge. There are other sub-subatomic particles i don't think they have charges though.... not sure on that one.
Why is it so hard to test particle model to see if it is correct?
We're talking about the nature of Light, yes? This may sound like doubletalk, but you get what you test for. In other words, test for a wave, you get a wave; test for a particle, you get a particle. The conclusion, which is presently more philosophy than physics, is that EITHER particles are the illusions of waves, OR waves are the illusions of particles. M-Theory, a kind of String Theory attempts to reconcile this by asserting that everything, particles and waves (and dogs and stars and marching bands) is actually little (REALLY little) things (particles) which are vibrating (waving). There's a gold medal and a Tonight Show appearance waiting for the person who works this out.
Who explained the wave nature and the particle nature of an electron?
That their was a unit of charge, for which no smaller amount of charge could exist, was first suggested in the late 1800s. In 1896, J.J. Thomson showed that a negatively charged particle was a fundamental particle of nature -- ie, that electrons had a particle nature. Louis de Broglie, in his 1924 thesis, suggested that electrons also had a wave nature, with a wavelength dependent on a particle's momentum. Experiments in 1927 showed that he was correct.
How do you spell particles?
That is the correct spelling of the plural noun "particles" (dust, or subatomic masses).
What is The Correct electron configuration For lanthanum?

Tiny particles of light are called what?
The theoretical particle of light is a photon. The existence of such a particle is still unknown (correct me if I am wrong).

What are the particular negative particles required to create beta particles?
For beta- decay, the resulting particles are an electron and an antineutrino. However, it is incorrect to say that these particles create the beta particle. It is more correct to say that the weak interaction causes a down quark in a neutron to change to an up quark, releasing a W- boson. The neutron becomes a proton, and the W- boson decays into the electron and the antineutrino. For beta+ decay, the resulting particles are a positron and a neutrino. It is a similar, though not quite the same reaction. Energy is absorbed, either from an energy rich nucleus, from electron capture, or from internal conversion, converting an up quark in a proton into a down quark, releasing the positron and neutrino, and changing the proton into a neutron.
Who invented subatomic particles?
For the particles in the atom: Neutron: James Chadwick, 1932 Electron: J. J. Thomson, 1897 Proton: Ernest Rutherford, 1919 The word "invented" is not adequate; correct is "discovered".
What particles play the most active role in chemical bonding?
I think it's electrons.
Why do hydrochloric acid particles move faster than ammonia particles?
well I'm only 13.... well...because it heats up faster then ammonia particle's. please correct me if I'm wrong, but i just took a guess :)
How many subatomic particles in silver?
155 particles 47 protons 47 electrons 61 neutrons
What is wave particle dualism?
If you do an experiment with light that's set up to observe waves, then it acts like waves, and does wavy things. If you do an experiment with light that's set up to observe particles, then it acts like particles, and does particlish things. After doing both experiments, you scratch your head, and you wonder "What is light ? Is it waves or is it particles ?" The correct answer is "Yes." It's both. That's the "wave/particle duality" of electromagnetic radiation.
What is the correct term of a light particle?
Photon
What is a correct term for a particle of light?
a photon
