Quarks.

They come in a total of 6 varieties called (flavours). Up, down, strange, charm, bottom and top which are figurative names describing various properties.

Different combinations of quarks make up Neutrons and protons and other less stable particles.

To find out details please look up quantum chromodynamics. The term quark was applied by Murray Gell-Mann.

What is a first organized particle?

The earliest organized particles are believed to be protons, neutrons, and electrons that formed shortly after the Big Bang during the process of nucleosynthesis. These particles eventually came together through gravitational forces to form the first hydrogen and helium atoms.


What force keeps the protons and neutrons in the nucleus What causes this force?

The force that holds protons and neutrons inside the nucleus is officially called the strong nuclear force. This is one of the four fundamental forces of the universe (the others being gravitation, the weak nuclear force, and the electromagnetic force). Scientists are still trying to work out exactly why these forces exist. It has been hypothesized that the basic forces of the universe came into being at the time of the Big Bang and are essentially a random byproduct of that event.


Is it true some particles bounce off the gold foil because they hit protons in the nucleus in the Rutherford gold foil experiment?

Yes, this is true because the positive core of the atom was denser than the alpha particles hitting the gold foil, this allowed Rutherford to create a more correct version of the atomic diagram. Alpha particles (Helium nuclei) are two protons and two neutrons (stuck together). They pass through much of the space that an atom of gold takes up, because most of the space is merely space (surrounded by electrons). When an alpha particle hits (or comes close) to the nucleus of gold, it get deflected (or bounces). The gold nucleus contains protons and neutrons.


Were protons and neutrons in existence immediately after big bang?

We weren't there; NOBODY was. There was nothing at the moment of the Big Bang, and we cannot be certain of what came into existence or when in the seconds, minutes or hours following the event. So, "immediately"? We believe - based entirely on poorly-understood mathematical theories for which no practical test is possible - that "matter", in the sense of protons, neutrons, electrons, and their corresponding antiparticles, probably did come into existence within a few seconds of the event.


What was the first two element existed seconds after the big bang?

Actually there is only one element that was formed shortly after the big bang and that is hydrogen. All the other elements were made either by nuclear reactions taking place in the core of burning stars, or by the catastrophic explosion called supernovas that are sometimes produced when stars die. - This is from a highly credible source (book)

Which came first atoms or electrons?

Of the two, electrons. (Protons had to form, perhaps from quarks, before the first atoms could form and the temperature had to be cool enough for protons and electrons to come together to form hydrogen.)

Did Mendeleev know about protons neutrons and electrons?

No, Mendeleev did not know about protons, neutrons, and electrons. He is best known for creating the periodic table of elements based on the properties of the elements without knowledge of the atomic structure. The discovery of protons, neutrons, and electrons came later with the development of atomic theory.


When neutrons were discovered were these neutrons created in the experiments?

Neutrons were discovered through experiments involving bombarding beryllium with alpha particles. Neutrons were not created in these experiments, but were instead found as subatomic particles that make up the nucleus of atoms.


What describes a neutral atom?

An atom is composed of these sub particles: protons, nuetron, and electrons. Inside the nucleus there are protons (positively charges) and nuetrons(nuetrally charges). Ouside of the atom's nucleaus are electrons (negatively charged). An atom is said to be nuetrally charged if there are the same number of protons and electrons.


What came first after the Big Bang electrons or protons?

After the Big Bang, electrons formed first, followed by protons. Electrons are one of the fundamental particles that make up atoms, while protons are found in the nucleus of an atom. The early universe was a hot soup of particles that eventually cooled and allowed electrons and protons to combine to form neutral hydrogen atoms.

In Rutherford's experiments why wouldn't the electrons in the atoms of the gold foil affect the paths of the alpha particles?

Electrons are so small that they have no affect. The alpha particles were 2 protons and 2 neutrons being shot thru, even though the electrons have a negative charge..they are so small and take up so little space, the alpha particles probably n ever even came near them.

Did bohr discover that the atoms mass came frome neutrons and protons?

Rutherford discovered that almost entire mass of an atom is located in the nucleus, and then, the neutron was discovered by Chadwick.
