The simplest form of an element is an atom. Subatomic particles are not a form of the element; they are a "building block" of an element.

Is a proton a subatomic particle?

Yes, a proton is considered a subatomic particle. The proton, the neutron and the electron are smaller than atoms (making them subatomic particles). Further, these three particles are considered the building blocks of atoms. There are other subatomic particles, and to learn more, begin by examining the proton, neutron and the electron and finding out what it is that makes them up.Yes, protons are subatomic particles which are found in the nucleus of the atom and have a positive charge.

What matter is in an element?

The only matter in a stable element is at least one of each of the two stable electrically charged subatomic particles, protons and electrons, and except for an atom of the isotope hydrogen-1, at least one neutron, the uncharged stable subatomic particle. The numbers of protons and electrons must be the same. Artificial elements may contain other subatomic particles such as positrons. (The subatomic particles themselves are considered to be composed of quarks, which could be called sub-subatomic particles, but quarks are not usually considered to be matter since they can not exist in isolation for more than very small fractions of a second.)


Is sodium a subatomic particle?

No, sodium is not a subatomic particle. Sodium is a chemical element with the symbol Na and atomic number 11. Subatomic particles are particles smaller than an atom, such as protons, neutrons, and electrons.

Is carbon a subatomic particle?

No, carbon is not a subatomic particle. Carbon is an element, specifically a chemical element with the symbol "C" and atomic number 6, meaning it has 6 protons in its nucleus. Subatomic particles are particles that are smaller than atoms, such as protons, neutrons, and electrons.


What subatomic particles makes an element reactive?

Electrons are the subatomic particles that make an element reactive. Elements react with one another by gaining, losing, or sharing electrons to attain a more stable electron configuration.


Which element is the outside of the atom?

Electrons are the subatomic particles ouside the nucleus of the atom.


What of these subatomic particles are represented by atomic number?

Protons are the subatomic particles represented by the atomic number of an element. The atomic number is equal to the number of protons in the nucleus of an atom, which determines the element's identity on the periodic table.


What aspect of an atom's subatomic particles defines which element it is?

The number of protons determines the element, and is the same as its atomic number.
