What is the name of the smallest particle of matter?
A quark is the smallest particle in matter.
What is the name of the particle which makes up all other subatomic particles?
Quarks are the particles that make up protons and neutrons. There are no particles, as far as we know, that make up electrons.
How were neutrons named?
The term "neutron" was first proposed by physicist Ernest Rutherford in 1920 when referring to a neutral particle that was discovered by James Chadwick in 1932. The name "neutron" was chosen to reflect its lack of electric charge, distinguishing it from protons and electrons.
What is the name of the smallest paricle of an element that has the properties of that element?
An atom is the smallest particle of an element that has the properties of that element. The atom consists of a certain amount of electrons, protons and usually neutrons. The amount of each of these sub-atomic particles is what makes an element. No Sub-Atomic Particles have any characterisitics of an element. It is the collective arrangement of electrons and protons (and usually neutrons) which gives an element its characteristics. An atom is the smallest particle that has elemental characteristics.
What is the mass number to an alpha particle and why?
Mass number is defined as the number of nucleons present in the nucleus. Alpha particle is nothing but the doubly ionized helium atom or the nucleus of helium atom. Nucleon is the common name both for proton and neutron. Helium nucleus has two protons and two neutrons. So the number of nucleons within it is 4. Hence mass number is 4.
What is the name of the smallest particle of matter?
A quark is the smallest particle in matter.
What is the name of the particle that nucleus of an atom?
Neutrons are protons are present in the nucleus of an atom.
What is the name of the subatomic particle that makes up electrons and protons and neutrons?
Quarks make up protons and neutrons, but electrons are fundamental particles, meaning nothing comprises them. There are 6 types of quarks; up, down, top, bottom, charm, and strange.
What is the name of the particle which makes up all other subatomic particles?
Quarks are the particles that make up protons and neutrons. There are no particles, as far as we know, that make up electrons.
What is the name of positively charged particle in the center of an atom?
Proton.
What is the name of a particle with an electric charge?
The particle with an electric charge is called the proton. It makes up part of an atoms nucleus.
How were neutrons named?

What is the name for the subatomic particle in an atom that has no charge?
The subatomic particle in an atom that has no charge is called a neutron. Neutrons are found in the nucleus of an atom along with protons, which have a positive charge, and electrons, which have a negative charge.
What is the name of the smallest paricle of an element that has the properties of that element?

Name everything smaller than an atom?
Components of the atom are protons, neutrons and electrons.
What is the name for a nuclear particle that has about the same mass as a proton but with no electrical charge?
The nuclear particle that has about the same mass as a proton but no electrical charge is called a neutron. Neutrons are found in the nucleus of an atom along with protons and contribute to the atomic mass of the atom.
What is the name of the worlds largest high energy particle accelerator in Switzerland?
LHC - Large Hadron Collider (Hadron is a type of particle of which the protons and neutrons that make up atomic nuclei are examples.)
