A quark is a fundamental subatomic particle, or class of subatomic particles. It is smaller than an atom.
Basically, atoms are made up of subatomic particles. Subatomic, sub- meaning smaller that, so subatomic particles means "a particle smaller than an atom". So It means that it is a particle within the atom.
They are found in electron clouds around the nucleus.
Because they are much smaller than an atom
Oxygen is fairly smaller than Beryllium. The two have the same amount of orbital shells, but Oxygen has more protons, which pulls its electrons closer together, thus decreasing the overall size!
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.
The Universe was never smaller than an atom.
it can get smaller than an atom
An atom is smaller than a compound because if an electron fits in an atom, and an atom is a part of a compound, it means a compound is bigger than an atom
A proton is smaller than a molecule, which is a group of atoms bonded together. The nucleus is smaller than both a molecule and an atom, as it is the central part of an atom where most of its mass is concentrated.

An atom is smaller than a cell, and a molecule is smaller than both atoms and cells. Cells are composed of molecules, which in turn are made up of atoms.
Neutrons, protons, and electrons make up an atom, so they are smaller.
The atom of an element is smaller than a molecule.
Of course it is smaller. It is a sub atomic particle
