What subatomic particle accounts for the mass of the atom?

The Proton, in regular hyrdogen, and also neutrons in other isotopes like deuterium.


What is a positively charged subatomic particale?

Protons are positively charged subatomic particles.


Do they capture those smaller subatomic particles observed in particle accelerator experiments?

The particle accelerator does produce hundreds of particle in each experiment but only 2 or 3 particles are captured depending on the predicted results. After the 2 subatomic particles are collapsed a huge field of various subatomic particles are formed. If we assume that the experiment is being conducted for the study of the Higg's Boson particle then the setup is created in a way so that only the required particle is captured and studied. In fewer words only those particles are captured which is needed to be studied. One thing to be clear on here: by "captured", we really mean "observed"; the data is what's captured, not the actual particle (many of which have extremely short lifetimes and can't actually be "captured" in the sense of "oh yeah, we put it in a bottle on the shelf" anyway). Also, it may be a good idea to get all the data your particular experimental setup is capable of obtaining, because negative results are still results. Say particle X (which is what you're looking for) is expected to generate tracks in detectors A and C, but not in B. Obviously you want to look at the results from A and C, but you should also look at B, because if you see results there too, that tells you that either you're mistaken about the properties of particle X or the particle you observed wasn't actually X.


What are the three subatomic partcle of an atom?

The three subatomic particles of an atom that are commonly referred to are the proton, the neutron, and the electron. The proton has a charge of +1 and is found in the atomic nucleus. The neutron has no charge and is also found in the atomic nucleus. Electrons have a charge of -1 and are found outside of the atomic nucleus in a place called the electron cloud.


Which subatomic particle determines the interaction between atoms?

The main subatomic particles, that make up an atom, are the proton (positive, in the nucleus), the neutron (neutral, in the nucleus), and the electron (on the outer part of the atom).The main subatomic particles, that make up an atom, are the proton (positive, in the nucleus), the neutron (neutral, in the nucleus), and the electron (on the outer part of the atom).The main subatomic particles, that make up an atom, are the proton (positive, in the nucleus), the neutron (neutral, in the nucleus), and the electron (on the outer part of the atom).The main subatomic particles, that make up an atom, are the proton (positive, in the nucleus), the neutron (neutral, in the nucleus), and the electron (on the outer part of the atom).

What is an uncharged particle in the nuecleus of an atom called?

The uncharged nucleon is the neutron. We use the term nucleon to refer to the particles that make up an atomic nucleus. These you know to be protons and neutrons. You also know protons carry a positive charge, and the neutron has no charge. The neutron is that uncharged nucleon.


How do you call a subatomic particle that has no mass and a negative charge?

No such particle exists. All particles with charge also have mass -- no exceptions. Every particle with zero mass also has zero charge -- no exceptions.


What are Neutrons also called?

A Neutron can also be called a "Nucleon". Protons and Neutrons are both nucleons. But the Nucleon more hevy than Neutron


What do we mean by the spin of a subatomic particle and how does it influence its properties and behavior?

The spin of a subatomic particle refers to its intrinsic angular momentum. This property influences the particle's magnetic moment, energy levels, and interactions with other particles. The spin also determines the particle's quantum numbers and behavior in quantum mechanics.


What does the greek letter lambda represent?

Lambda is the eleventh letter of the Greek alphabet. It is a particle in subatomic particle physics. It can also indicate the wavelength of a wave.

What has a negetive charge?

There are many particles that contribute to the make up an atom. An electron is the subatomic particle that has a negative charge. The muon and tau particle also are negatively charged.


What do particle accelerators measure?

Particle accelerators measure properties of particles such as mass, charge, energy, and momentum. They can also be used to study fundamental forces, particle interactions, and the structure of matter at a subatomic level.


Which subatomic particle accounts for magnetism?

The photon is responsible for mediating the electromagnetic force. This includes both electricity and magnetism (both of which are manifestations of the electromagnetic force.) Interestingly, the photon is also the particle responsible for light, which is an electromagnetic wave.


What is a subtomic particale with a negative charge?

The electron has a negative charge. It is found in the electron cloud around the nucleus.


Who might use a particle accelerator?

Particle physicists doing research in quantum mechanics use particle accelerators, which are also called "atom smashers" or "colliders". These devices propel subatomic particles at high velocities and collide them with other subatomic particles, sometimes creating new elements, and recreating the properties of the early Universe, shortly after the Big Bang.


Does a nucleus have a subatomic particle?

Yes, an atomic nucleus contain protons and neutrons; and these particles contain also quarks and gluons.
