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.

Which group lists all the adjectives in this sentence The famous dancer was described as having cat-like moves.?
the famous, cat-like
Was Leonardo da Vinci evil?
There is no evidence of him having a bad temper. He was described by people who knew him personally as having "infinite grace", "great strength and generosity", "regal spirit and tremendous breadth of mind". He was also known for buying caged birds and freeing them.
Contrast the three subatomic particles with respect to mass and charge?
The heaviest of the subatomic particles is the neutron, which has a neutral charge, followed extremely closely by the proton, which has a positive charge. The electrons that orbit protons and neutrons have an extremely small mass relative to the other two, but have a negative charge equal in magnitude to that of the proton.
Why do protons and electrons combine to form neutrons in a neutron star if protons are made of two up quarks and a down quark electrons aren't made of quarks and neutrons are made of two down quarks a?
Actually 'an' up quark.The weak nuclear force permits an interaction between an up quark and an electron that converts the up quark to a down quark and the electron ceases to exist, also an interaction between a down quark and a positron that converts the down quark to an up quark and the positron ceases to exist. There are also weak nuclear force interactions that change quark types by emitting electrons or positrons. Both the absorption and emission interactions described above are referred to as Beta Decay Processes. All Beta Decay Processes also involve emission of an electron neutrino or an electron antineutrino (the lightest known particle having a nonzero mass and a particle that has almost no interaction at all with other matter).
Is a subatomic particle having a charge of 1 a proton?
Yes it is.
What is a subatomic particle having zero charge found in the nucleus of an atom?
This particle is the neutron.
What is bossing?
The Higgs Boson is a theoretical subatomic particle which is being sought in particle accelerator experiments and has recently been reported as having been proven to exist.

What structure of the atom has been described as having a dense center that contains subatomic particles?
The Nucleus.
What nuclear radiation is described by a radioactive particle having the same mass as an electron?
Beta
What are protons and where are they found?
Protons are a type of subatomic particle, which are found in the nucleus of every atom. Protons have an electrical charge of +1. A proton is about 2000 times heavier than an electron.
What is the subatomic particle with no mass?
Technically all subatomic particles have mass. However, the electron is so small that it was once considered to have no mass. Wrong, both photons and gravitons are subatomic particles with no mass.
What do you call the type of radiation that is described as having a positive charge with an atomic mass of 4 making it a Helium atom without any electrons?
an alpha particle
Type of particle thought to compose protons and neutrons?
There are two types of subatomic particles hypothesized to comprise protons and neutrons. Elementary particles having mass by the types of quarks, leptons and bosons are the first. The second are composite particles, which include baryons, mesons, and leptons.
What is the definition of an molecule?
The smallest particle of matter having distinctive chemical and physiacl properties; a tiny particle
Does the strong nuclear force have charges like the electromagnetic force does?
No. The strong nuclear force works through the exchange of a subatomic particle called a meson. Additionally, the strong nuclear force has to hold protons and neutrons together in the nucleus, so having a charge would have no effect on the neutrons.
