Which subatomic particle causes the masses to be different?

Every subatomic particle has mass, so every particle will cause a slight mass change. However, in an isotope, the mass change between the parent and daughter is caused by a change in the number of neutrons.


What causes the colored flame for each element on the subatomic level?

The heat of the flame gives off energy to the ions. This results in electrons jumping out of their ground state and into their excited state. From a lower subatomic level to a higher one. When the electrons fall back down, the give off a color.

What causes scientists to realize that there were particles smaller than atoms?

A particle smaller than atom is a subatomic particle, protons , neutrons, and , electrons, the smallest one is an electron, smaller than that are point particles and elementary particles, one elementary particle and point particle is a quark, up quarks down quarks the smallest single thing found so far is a GLUON, which is the force which binds/holds quarks together. Where the devil lives in anti matter there are also atoms and subatomic particles and point particles but just anti, anti- GLUON, anti-QUARK, anti-ATOM, anti-SUBATOMIC PARTICLE. There is something called the string theory, and super string theory that theorizes about bosonic/boson strings but it can not be provine yet, and I think a gluon is still alot smaller than a bosonic/boson string if they are true.

What subatomic particle causes atoms to react?

Electrons cause atoms to react. Atoms react to achieve a filled valence shell, which for most elements is 8, but 2 for hydrogen, lithium, and berylllium, because having 8 valence electrons, or 2 for H, Li, and Be, makes the atoms stable.
