What are leptons and quarks?
Hadrons, examples of which are protons and neutrons, are made up of different combinations of the six "flavors" of quarks, which are up, down, strange, charm, top and bottom. Each quark has a different mass and either has a charge of +2/3 or -1/3. All quarks have a 1/2 spin. Leptons are categorized into six sections: electrons, muons, taus, tau neutrinos, electron neutrinos, and muon neutrinos. All of the leptons have a 1/2 spin, with the neutrinos having a charge of 0 and the other three having a charge of -1. Basically, as the Standard Theory states, that all matter is made up of combinations of quarks and leptons with the various types of force particles.
What is a solar neutrinos?
Solar neutrinos are electron neutrinos that are in the sun. The sun is what produces nuclear fusion.
How many different quarks are there in Chemistry?
In an atom, the neutrons and protons are made up of up quarks and down quarks. Strange quarks, charms quarks, top quarks, and bottom quarks also exist, but do not play as much of a role in the structure of an atom.
Are neutrinos mediated by electromagnetic interaction?
No, neutrinos are mediated by weak interactions, Photons are mediated by electromagnetic interactions.
Is a neutrino smaller than gluon?
A quark may be one of several categories: up (+2/3 charge), down (-1/3 charge), charmed, strange, top, and bottom. A quark, generally speaking, has no subparticles of its own that are generally accepted or discussed, but, in terms of size, the gluon, the gauge boson that mediates the "glue" force between the quarks can be construed as "smaller" in size than a quark.
Are electrons protrons and neutrons the smallest particles?
Quarks and neutrinos are smaller.

Names of particles that are smaller thsn atom?
ALL the subatomic particles, protons, neutrons, electrons, quarks, neutrinos, etc.
What is the smallest part of the atom that has almost no mass?
The smallest part of an atom would be a quark. Quarks are either up or down quarks, and have virtually no mass. Neutrinos have even less mass, but are not part of an atom.
What particles do the strong and weak nuclear forces act on?
The strong nuclear force is mediated by the gluon and acts on both quarks and gluons themselves. The most common examples of the strong nuclear force are the binding of quarks to form protons and neutrons, and the binding of quarks to form mesons, which in turn are the particles that hold the protons and neutrons together in the nucleus. The weak nuclear force is mediated by the W+, W-, and Z bosons and acts on all 6 flavors of quarks: up, down, charm, strange, top, and bottom; and all 6 flavors of leptons: electrons, electron neutrinos, muons, muon neutrinos, taus, and tau neutrinos.

Is not deflected by a magnetic field?
Photons, gluons, and neutrinos have no charge, and are thus not deflected by a magnetic field. Quarks, with a charge of +2/3 for the up, and -1/3 for the down, are deflected by magnetic fields, however, quarks assemble into larger particles such as protons and neutrons. The neutron, two down quarks and one up quark, has a net charge of zero, and is also not deflected by magnetic fields.
What subatomic particle does not have a charge?
Neutrons are elementary particles without electrical charge.
Particals that are smaller than an atom are called what?
They are called sub-atomic (or subatomic) particles ... some of the most common ones are named protons, neutrons, electrons, positrons, mesons, antimesons, neutrinos, antineutrinos, and quarks.
What is a solar neutrinos?
Solar neutrinos are electron neutrinos that are in the sun. The sun is what produces nuclear fusion.
Can neutrinos change into other types of neutrinos?
Yes; the scienific terminology for this phenomenon is "neutrino oscillation". Neutrinos exist in three different flavours - electron, muon and tao neutrinos, listed in order of increasing mass (each also has an antiparticle). Although it is not know why this is the case, it was originally discovered that neutrinos oscillate when examining the neutrinos emitted by the sun; although primarily electron neutrinos are emitted as a result of the fusion process within the sun, the quantities of the different flavours of neutrinos detected on Earth from the sun are in roughly equal proportions.
