The electron is, as far as we know, fundamental; it's not made up of smaller particles.

Which particle has the least mass and where is this particle located in the atom?

The smallest particles that have been discovered and that don't only exist in theory are the quarks. They are what make up protons, neutrons, all kinds of baryons, and a few other categories of particles. But there is a theory of smaller particles that make up quarks, electrons, and other particles that were previously believed to be fundamental (But, again, these particles only exist in theory). These particles are to be called "rishons" if discovered.


What is the location of subatomic particles?

sub-atomic particles are within the atom (and remember, atoms are everywhere): the electron, proton and neutron are all sub-atomic particles, but there are even smaller particles (and anti-particles) called quarks that make up the proton, neutron and electron.


In Bohr's model which particles make up the most mass of the atom?

In Bohr's model, the most mass of the atom is concentrated in the nucleus, which is made up of protons and neutrons. Electrons, which have significantly less mass, orbit around the nucleus in specific energy levels.


What are the smaller particles that make up atoms?

Positively charged protons and neutral neutrons are sub atomic particles found in the nucleus of an atom. Negatively charged electrons are found outside the nucleus of an atom.


What is inside of the electron?

No one really knows for sure. In the Standard Model, electrons are fundamental particles (they aren't made up of simpler particles); supporters of String Theory believe that miniscule "strings" make up the core of all subatomic particles.

What are some particles in an Electron?

Some particles in an electron include protons and neutrons, which are found in the atomic nucleus. Electrons are negatively charged particles that orbit the nucleus and are part of the atomic structure. Additionally, quarks are fundamental particles that make up protons and neutrons.


What the location of the subatomic?

sub-atomic particles are within the atom (and remember, atoms are everywhere): the electron, proton and neutron are all sub-atomic particles, but there are even smaller particles (and anti-particles) called quarks that make up the proton, neutron and electron.

What particle is not located in the nucleus proton electron neutron quark?

The electron is not located in the nucleus. Electrons are negatively charged particles that orbit around the nucleus of an atom. Protons and neutrons are located in the nucleus, while quarks are subatomic particles that make up protons and neutrons.


What are the subparticlles of atom?

Protons, neutrons and electrons. There are other particles that in turn make up these particles [but that was not the question]

The particles that make up an atom are?

Nucleus, which contains protons and neutrons Energy Shell/Electron Cloud, which contains electrons


What is the role of quarks in an electron's structure?

Quarks are fundamental particles that make up protons and neutrons, which are in turn components of an atom. Quarks play a crucial role in the structure of an electron by interacting with other particles to form the overall structure of an atom. In an electron, quarks are not directly involved, as electrons are considered elementary particles and do not contain quarks.


What three subatomic particle's make up atoms?

Protons, neutrons and electrons The particles themselves are made up of smaller particles (quarks), bar the electron which is believed to have no sub-particles and therefore is believed to be elementary
