Can atoms be broken down into smaller particles?
Yes, atoms can be broken down into smaller particles called subatomic particles, such as protons, neutrons, and electrons.
Describe the discovery that demonstrate for the first time that atoms are not the smallest particles of matter?
The discovery of the subatomic particles demonstrated for the first time that atoms are not the smallest particles of matter. Electron was the first subatomic particle discovered by J.J. Thomson.
A false statement concerning matter is Matter cannot be subdivided. Matter is composed of many small particles called atoms. Matter is mostly empty space. All matter contains mass.?
Matter cannot be subdivided is a false statement. Matter can be broken down into smaller particles such as atoms, which are the building blocks of matter.
Which groups cannot be broken down into smallest part?
Elements in the periodic table and subatomic particles (such as electrons, protons, and neutrons) cannot be broken down into smaller parts. These are considered the fundamental building blocks of matter.
Why is matter ilimited on earth and is recycled through the environment?
Matter is limited everywhere. Matter cannot be created or destroyed, the atoms that make up matter are made up of smaller particles, proton and neutrons for example. Because there is no (proven) way to break these particles down any further that means that there is a limit to how small mater can get. (So it cant ever really disappear) Also since these particles cannot be broken down any further, there is nothing to build more of them with. (So matter cant be created, since the only thing you could use to build matter is already matter.)
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.
Who first proposed that all matter could be broken down into a small particle called the atom?
Democritus
What is the name of the particles when atoms are broken down?
Quarks
What is the smallest particle into which a covalently bonded compound be divided?
A molecule is the smallest particle that is the same compound. Obviously molecules can be broken down further into atoms and these in turn could be broken down into fundamental particles.

What happens when matter is broken down?
When matter is broken down, its constituent elements and particles are separated into smaller components. This process can occur through physical or chemical means, resulting in the transformation of the original matter into simpler forms such as atoms, molecules, or ions.
Can subatomic particles be broken down into energy?
They can't be 'broken down' into energy. However, subatomic particles (indeed, all matter) can be annihilated and converted into energy.Each particle of matter has an antiparticle (antimatter). When a particle collides with its exact antiparticle twin, they annihilate each other. They 'disappear' and become photons (quanta containing energy).This means that matter and energy are exchangeable. The ratio is from Einstein's formula:E = mc2 , where E = energy, m = mass, c = speed of lightAnnihilation must occur due to the conservation law.
