Which two subatomic particles make up most of the atoms mass?
It is usually considered to be neutrons and protons that hold most of an atom's mass, however there is one theoretical subatomic particle that is used to help explain mass, called the higgs boson particle.
Which subatomic particle is present in the nucleus of an atom?
The atomic particles that make up an alpha are two protons and two neutrons. The subatomic particles are contained within the neutrons & protons and there are too many to list here, plus I don't know all of them.
Which is larger a atom or a element explain?
an atom is larger than an element
What is the word used to explain the behaviour of matter and mixtures?
The particle theory
How do you explain what an element is to kids?
an element is a material on the periodic table that cant be broken down
What is an example of a subatomic particle explain?
Neutron: Mass: 1,00866491600(43) amu. Charge: neutral Electron: Mass: 5,4857990946(22)×10−4 amu. Charge: negative Proton: Mass: 1,007276466812(90) amu. Charge: positive

How does electromagnetic energy have both wave and particle characteristics?
This is not something we can explain with classical physics - its a new phenomenon that happens at the subatomic level. It affects everything that happens on a very small scale; for example, an electron, too, has wave and particle characteristics. Briefly, it seems that the wave is not a mechanical wave in the traditional sense, but a probability distribution that tells you what is the probability of finding a particle in a specific region of space. Do some reading - for example on Wikipedia - on "wave-particle duality", for more details.
