A positron is a fundamental particle because it does not consist of smaller particles, which would make it a composite particle. Fundamental particles can still decay or change identity however, but they have no (at least at this point) discernible internal structure.
A proton on the other hand is a composite particle; it has an internal structure and consists of a mixture of gluons and quarks (which both are fundamental particles).
They're not. Fundamental particles (mostly subatomic) are the carriers of the fundamental forces. Most of these particles are bosons.
Because proton is an indispensable nuclear particle for all atoms.
Generally speaking, subatomic particles are particles smaller than an atom. There are the three basic ones that make up atoms, and you probably already know that those are protons, neutrons and electrons.If we delve more deeply into the physics of the subatomic world, more and more particles will appear. At one point, there were literally dozens and dozens of different subatomic particles, and they created what was called a particle zoo. Since then, some newer ideas regarding the world of these tiny particles has arisen, and most of the particles in the zoo were recognized as composite particles made up of a just a few fundamental particles.Begin learning about subatomic particles by developing an understanding of protons, neutrons and electrons. Then find out what makes them up, and move from there to the number and nature of fundamental particles.
Everything is made of subatomic particles.
No. A gluon, however, can be thought of as one. It's the particle that holds quarks together inside of hadrons (particles composed of three quarks) and mesons (particles composed of a quark-antiquark pair). The gluon is called a gauge boson- a fundamental particle that mediates one of the fundamental forces. Glucose is a type of sugar.
The particles outside of an atom are called electrons :D
A pi meson, or pion, is one of three fundamental particles that help explain the strong force, or strong interaction. A link can be found below.
Not all of them are; the only direct subatomic part of the atom that is fundamental is the electron (which is a type of lepton.) Only particles made up of no smaller parts are called fundamental particles. For example, the proton (just like the neutron, except with a small difference) is not a fundamental particle because it is made of quarks, which are fundamental particles.
All subatomic particles have mass.
Elementary (fundamental) particles have not components; other particles (as protons and neutrons) are composed from other particles.
All are particles of matter; quarks are the components of protons and neutrons and are considered as fundamental fermionic particles.
A quark is a fundamental subatomic particle, or class of subatomic particles. It is smaller than an atom.
an electron is found in shells , it is a subatomic particle
yes, that's why they are called subatomic.
