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 do neutrons consist of?
Neutrons consist of small particles, called "Quarks". Protons also consist of quarks, but what quarks is made of, is still not discovered.
How many subatomic particles in sodium?
It really depends in which atom you're talking about. because a hydrogen atom which it's atomic number is 1 has 1 electron, 1 neutron, and 1 proton; the helium atom, has an atomic number of 2, the nitrogen atom of 7, and Unumquadium of 114, meaning that Unumquadium has 342 subatomic particles( a radioactive element , and also a syntetic one, meaning that it is not found in nature, and its manmade)
Are subatomic and little particles the same thing?
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.

What are particles?
Particles are small pieces of matter. Depending on the context, it may refer to pieces of dust, to atoms or molecules, or to subatomic particles such as protons, electrons, quarks, etc.
Which subatomic particles have a mass so small it typically is ignored?
Electron
What are the two subatomic particles with a mass?
In the atom, protons and neutrons; the mass of the electron is very small.
What are the the small particles called in a in Adam?
The subatomic particles found in an atom are the protons and neutrons in the atomic nucleus, and the electrons which are located in the electron cloud surrounding the nucleus.
What small particles are protons and neutrons composed of?
Quarks and gluons
What are the different parts of an atom and what kind of charge does each part have?
Atoms are made of three main particles: protons, neutrons and electrons. Electrons have negative charge, are very small (even for subatomic particles) and orbit the center of the atom, which contains the protons and neutrons. Protons have positive charge, and are held by strong nuclear force to the neutrons, which are neutral (no charge).
What small particles are found inside the middle of the atom?
Protons and Neutrons
What is an example of a subatomic particle explain?
Neutron: Mass: 1,00866491600(43) amu. Charge: neutral Electron: Mass: 5,4857990946(22)×10−4 amu. Charge: negative Proton: Mass: 1,007276466812(90) amu. Charge: positive
Which of these subatomic particles contain the heaviest particles?
Hey, it's Song_Writer_Girl13 here! Protons have a +1 (postive) charge and a mass of 1 Neutrons have no electric charge and have a mass of 1 Electrions have a -1 (negative) charge and have a mass of about 0 (there actual mass is so small we just say it's about 0) Therefore, electrons have the greatest mass of the three subatomic particles. Hope I helped!
What subatomic particles contribute to the mass of?
The atomic mass is the sum of the number of protons and the number of neutrons found in each atom of that element (electrons do not contribute). They are sometimes seen on periodic tables to have a decimal in the atomic number, this is for elements with more than one common isotope (an isotope of an element is the same number of protons but with a different number of neutrons), in which case an average of the common isotopes can be used.
Atoms are made up of smaller parts called?
cell membrane, nucleus,mitochondria
What do neutrons consist of?
Neutrons consist of small particles, called "Quarks". Protons also consist of quarks, but what quarks is made of, is still not discovered.
Which particles account for most of an atoms mass?
Almost all of the mass in an atom is made up from the protons and neutrons in the nucleus, with a very small contribution from the orbiting electrons
Do subatomic particles have gravity?
Subatomic particles do have gravity. However, their gravity is very small.
