Want this question answered?
There are so many particles in a glucose molecule! The smallest atom is the hydrogen atom, but the hydrogen atom is made out of protons, neutrons, and electrons, the smallest being electrons. Who knows what electrons are made out of?
The smallest particle of an element would be an atom. Any smaller and it would not be an element, but something more basic. Atoms are made of Protons, Neutrons, and Electrons. Protons and Neutrons are made of Quarks, Leptons, and Bosons.
I'm not exactly sure but it's probably: electrons, neutrons, and protons.The electron is the smallest particle of the atom, in the traditional sense. However, the neutrino is far smaller than the electron, and is thus the smallest particle. You could also argue that the photon, with zero rest mass, is actually the smallest, but that's a quantum mechanics question that seems to be beyond the scope of this question.
Of the 3 atomic particles protons, neutrons and electrons, electrons have the smallest mass.
A quark is the smallest particle in matter.
Hydrogen has the smallest atomic mass at roughly 1.008 grams per mol (6.02x10^23 atoms)

The term 'particle' broadly encompasses any relatively small piece of matter, but in particle and nuclear physics, quarks and electrons are smallest, followed by protons, then neutrons.
No. This is a definition of an atom. Electrons are only part of atoms.
electrons the smallest but weigh as much as protons neutrons weigh nothing ~Kay

No It is not true that atoms are the smallest particles in the planets. The smallest particles are electrons, protons, neutrons, and others.
An atom is the smallest particle of an element that can be uniquely identified as that specific element.Note that this question is different from asking "What is the smallest particle in an atom?" (see related question below). Atoms are composed of smaller particles (protons, electrons, and neutrons), but the smallest thing that has the identity of a specific element is the atom.The smallest particle of an element that still retains all that element's properties is called an ATOM.
