Atoms are composed of protons, electrons and neutrons (save hydrogen-1, which lacks any neutrons). Protons and neutrons are baryons, which are made up of three quarks. Having said that, the quark, which is a fundamental particle, is smaller than an atom by a great deal. Further, the quark is smaller than either a proton or neutron, as both are made of three quarks. The electron is a fundamental particle, and it is smaller still than a quark.
When we look at the fundamental particles as they are described in the Standard Model, only the photon and gluon, which are force carriers, are smaller. It should be noted that the way we relate "smaller" in this case is by stating a mass-energy equivalence and describing the mass of the fundamental particles in terms of energy. Use the link below to see a chart of the sixteen particles that make up the three generations of matter.
What else can I help you with?
What subatomic particle has the same mass as a proton?
No two subatomic particles have the exact same mass. The proton and the neutron, however, come close. Neutrons are heavier than protons by only 2.3 X 10-30 kg. (Neutron: 1.674927351 x 10-27, Proton: 1.672621777 x 10-27)
What do bosons do?
Bosons are subatomic particles which have integer spin and obey Bose-Einstein statistics. There can be more than one boson at a given point in space with the same quantum state. Bosons are the force carriers. Known bosons are the photon (light), the gluon (strong force), the neutral weak force carrier, and the charged weak force carrier.
Is sternum the same thing as vertebrae?
No, the sternum is NOT the same thing as vertebrae. The sternum is the breastbone. Vertebra are in the spine.
Is making out and snoging the same thing?
Yes, Snogging, French Kissing, Making out and kissing are all generally the same thing.
What cause particles to move back and forth in the same direction the waves are moving?
Particles move back and forth in the same direction as the waves due to the energy transfer from the wave to the medium's particles. In longitudinal waves, such as sound waves, compressions and rarefactions cause particles to oscillate along the direction of the wave's propagation. This movement occurs as particles collide and exert forces on one another, allowing the wave energy to travel through the medium while the particles themselves mainly return to their original positions.
What statement bout subatomic particles is not true?
"All subatomic particles have the same mass" is not a true statement, as different subatomic particles, such as protons, neutrons, and electrons, have different masses and charges.
What statements about subatomic particles?
Protons and neutrons have the same mass
What two subatomic have about the same mass?
These particles are: proton and neutron.
Is there such thing as the subatomic universe?
Yes, the subatomic universe refers to particles and forces that exist at a scale smaller than atoms. This includes particles such as electrons, protons, and neutrons, as well as the fundamental forces that govern their interactions, such as electromagnetism and the strong and weak nuclear forces.
Which statement about subatomic particles is not true?
Subatomic particles are the same size as basketballs.
What two subatomic particles comprise the nucleus of a atom?
the you and the stupid! oh wait that is the same thing!
Is there a difference between atoms and particles, or are they the same thing?
Atoms and particles are not the same thing. Atoms are the basic units of matter, composed of protons, neutrons, and electrons. Particles, on the other hand, refer to any subatomic particles, including protons, neutrons, electrons, and others like quarks and leptons. So, while atoms are made up of particles, particles themselves can exist independently of atoms.
How are quark and subatomic particles the same?
All are particles of matter; quarks are the components of protons and neutrons and are considered as fundamental fermionic particles.
Name the subatomic particles that the number of this particle is always the same as the atomic number?
The proton
What two subatomic particles are the same in number in any stable element?
Protons and electrons
What two subatomic participles have about the same mass?
These particles are: proton and neutron.
What are properties that vary among subatomic particles?
The atom is the smallest part of matter that represents a particular element. For quite a while, the atom was thought to be the smallest part of matter that could exist. But in the latter part of the 19th century and early part of the 20th, scientists discovered that atoms are composed of certain subatomic particles and that, no matter what the element, the same subatomic particles make up the atom. The number of the various subatomic particles is the only thing that varies. Scientists now recognize that there are many subatomic particles (this really makes physicists salivate). But in order to be successful in chemistry, you really only need to be concerned with the three major subatomic particles: Protons Neutrons Electrons
