The smallest, most basic particles that still have the characteristics of the individual elements (oxygen, gold, carbon, uranium, potassium and many others) are called atoms. An atom of gold is still gold. Once you take any of these atoms apart, you have particles that are common to all elements. The protons in an atom of gold are exactly the same as the protons in an atom of oxygen. The sub-atomic particles, the protons, neutrons and electrons of ordinary atoms, can be broken down into smaller and smaller particles. As we build more and more powerful devices, we find that particles can be broken into smaller and smaller components. I don't believe we yet know where that process will end. This is bringing us to the very limits of what is called particle physics.

Are electrons small bits of matter?
Yes. They are sub-atomic particles. In other words they make up parts of atoms.
What particles make up orange juice?
the same ones as make up you: protons, neutrons, and electrons.
Why do kleenex sparkle in the sunlight?
They particles and fabrics that make it up.
What is a theory in science for kids?
The particle theory is a good theory that's sort of simple to understand. The particle theory consists of five parts. 1) All matter is made up of small particles 2) The particles are attracted to each other. 3) Particles are always moving. 4)When heated, particles move faster and move farther apart. 5) There are spaces between each particle.
What small subatomic particles are in the protons and neutrons?
The subatomic particles found in protons and neutrons are quarks. There are two types of quarks that combine to make either particle, up and down quarks. Protons are 2 ups and a down and neutrons are 2 downs and an up.
What particles that make up matter are in a state of?
Particles that make up matter are in a state of constant motion.
Which is true about particles that make up solid matter?
The same particles of matter that make up a solid are also the same particles of matter that make up a gas or a liquid. Basically matter consists of atoms. At the simplest level, the particles of atoms are electrons, protons and neutrons.
Are the particles that make up light the same particles that make up all matter?
No. Light is a form of energy. Matter has mass. Light has no mass.
One of the small particles that make up matter?
There are a few different particles that make up matter. Some of them are called quarks, electrons and leptons.
What is the particles that make up all matter?
Atomss
Are particles that make up matter always stationary?
no
What are the tiny particles that make matter?
Up quarks, down quarks and electrons make up atoms (matter).
What is a basic property of the tiny particles that make up matter. electric charges can be positive or negative?
The property that makes up electric charge is called just that: "electric charge". Note that the particles also have other properties.
are the tiny particles that make up all matter?
building blocks of matter
What are the tiny particles that make up matter?
Up quarks, down quarks and electrons make up atoms (matter).
What are the tiny particles called that make up matter?
quanta
How the particles that make up the states of matter are organized?
