Matter actually is made of sub-atomic particles. It would be perfectly reasonable to describe sub-atomic particles as the building blocks of matter. You might imagine that you have to assemble the sub-atomic particles into atoms first, and then use the atoms as your building blocks, but lots of things are not made of atoms; for example, you do not find atoms in the sun, which is so hot that atoms disintegrate into a plasma of atomic nuclei and free electrons.

What is a small piece of matter?
Small matter, this can be answered depending on how you look at it, originally atoms were named because they were believed to be the smallest particle of matter and cannot be split anymore but scientists now know that subatomic particles exist such as quarks. They and others are building blocks of matter. http://www.nyu.edu/pages/mathmol/textbook/atoms.html A particle is a very small piece of matter. Particles are part of atoms. Atoms are the smallest unit of all substances.
Why would electron neutron and protron be grouped together?
All these are sub atomic particles or building blocks of atoms and finally matter.
Building blocks of all matter are?
atoms
Protons are really just planets in another universe?
No, protons are subatomic particles that are found within the nucleus of an atom. They have a positive charge and are one of the building blocks of matter. The concept of protons being planets in another universe is not supported by scientific evidence.
Can atoms be thought of as the building blocks of matter?
Yes.
are the tiny particles that make up all matter?
building blocks of matter
Elements called building blocks of matter?
These particles are the atoms.
What subatomic particle is not part of the nucleus?
Atoms are the building blocks of matter. Atoms are made up of electron, neutron and proton particles. Electrons are negatively charged, neutrons are neutral and protons have a positive charge.
Small piece of matter?
A small piece of matter is known as a particle, which can be as tiny as an atom or subatomic particle. These particles are the building blocks of all matter and come in various forms such as protons, electrons, and neutrons. Understanding the behavior and interactions of these particles is fundamental to fields like physics and chemistry.
Do elements make up the basic substances of matter?
The periodic table documents known elements, each of which are atoms. Different elements are defined by the number of protons in their nucleus. Atoms are the fundamental "building blocks" of chemical compounds. However, atoms are comprised of protons, neutrons and electrons. Hence, the "building blocks" of atoms are these three subatomic particles. Further still, protons and neutrons are comprised of even smaller particles called quarks. Hence, these are the "building blocks" of protons and neutrons. To summarise, elements are not the most fundamental particles which make up matter. They are however, for all intents and purposes, the fundamental particles in a chemical context.
Is building blocks of matter a change?
No. The building blocks of matter are atoms, not a process.
What does matter do?
matter is anything that takes up space and has mass.It can be solid,liquid,or gas.The building blocks of matter are tiny particles called atoms.
What are smallest units of matter?
The smallest units of matter are the subatomic particles.
Why are elements often called the building blocks of matter?
They are the smallest particles of matter. Actually, it's a misconception to say that atoms and molecules are "small particles";rather, they are the tiny electrical forces that can't be seen with the naked eye. Atoms and molecules are not tangible, physical objects-they are forces.
Basic building blocks of everything?
the building blocks of life are cells the building blocks of matter are atoms
