The smallest particles of matter are the atom particles, namely protons, neutrons, and electrons. The electron is the smallest of the three.

What is the new smallest particles?

The current smallest known particles are quarks and leptons, which make up all matter in the universe. These particles are considered fundamental and cannot be broken down into smaller components.


Is molecule the smallest particle of matter?

No, atoms are not the smallest particles of matter. Atoms are the smallest pieces of a chemical element, but atoms are made of even smaller particles. We know that neutrons, protons and electrons make up atoms. And there are even smaller particles when we begin to look at what is called the particle zoo.


What are the fundamental particles of matter?

The smallest components KNOWN so far are the quarks, and leptons (which include electrons). It is still possible that these are made up of smaller particles.


What is the smallest unit of matter that retains the identity of the substance?

If that substance is an element, the smallest part is the atom which, if broken down further into atomic particles, loses its identity.


What is a small piece of matter?

Small matter, this can be answered depending on how you look at it, originally atoms were named because they were believed to be the smallest particle of matter and cannot be split anymore but scientists now know that subatomic particles exist such as quarks. They and others are building blocks of matter. http://www.nyu.edu/pages/mathmol/textbook/atoms.html A particle is a very small piece of matter. Particles are part of atoms. Atoms are the smallest unit of all substances.

What is the second smallest matter?

We could say what the second smallest piece of matter if we knew what the smallest piece of matter was. Since the smallest pieces of matter known are quarks-down, strange and bottom have the lowest charge -3, they can be regarded as the first, second and third smallest particles.
