3 main subatoms found in atoms?
The 3 main subatomic particles found in atoms are Protons, Electrons, and Neutrons. Protons and Neutrons are called "composite particles" because they themselves are made up of smaller particles called quarks.
What are the two particles in a nucleus called?
The two types of particles in the nucleus are called protons and neutrons.
It is theorized that protons and nuetrons are actuall formed from a combination of smaller particles what are these particles called?
These particles are called quarks. (Protons made up of two up quarks and a down quark, neutrons made up of two down quarks and an up quark.)
What other particle is found in the nucleus?
It appears that you have some confusion about the particle physics inside the nucleus. Nothing "separates protons so that the strong force can hold the nucleus together", the strong force acts via the exchange of particles called mesons. The atomic nucleus contains particles called protons and neutrons. The strong force binds the protons and neutrons together via the exchange of particles called mesons between those protons and neutrons.
What are the atoms are made up of three subatomic particles called?
strictly speaking, not atoms but parts of them: you are thinking of the Proton, Neutron and electron, as basic atomic PARTICLES. there are others such as the Meson and positron known mainly to atomic scientists and that"s about it. the three basic Nuclear building blocks- are Proton, Neutron, and Electron. Zap!

Why are protons neutrons electrons called subatomic particles?
Because they are much smaller than an atom
Where are the atoms created?
Atoms themselves are made up of three kinds of smaller particles, called protons, neutrons and electrons. The protons and neutrons are in the middle of the atom.
What is particles called?
The particles in an atom are called protons, neutrons, and electrons
Who said Protons and neutrons are made of smaller particles called quarks?
Murray Gell-Mann and George Zweig.
What are the nucleus of most atoms consist of?
The nucleus of an atom is made up of two types of subatomic particles, protons and neutrons which together are sometimes called nucleons. These subatomic particles are in turn made up of smaller particles called quarks.
What two particles are found in the nucleus?
The neutral particles found in the nucleus on an atom are called neutrons. Positive particles found in the nucleus are protons.
What is smaller then an atom?
Electrons for one, and protons and neutrons are composed of quarks
Particle found in nucleus?
The main constituents of the nucleus are protons and neutrons, but each of these is made up of smaller particles known as quarks.
What is the particles called that moves in the nucleus?
neutrons and protons
What are particles in the nucleus called?
The two types of particles in the nucleus are called protons and neutrons.
What are the subatomic particles found in the nucleus of the atom are?
The three subatomic particles found in an atom are the Protons, Neutrons, and Electrons. But the subatomic particles found in the nucleus of an atom are the Protons, and Neutrons. The Electrons surround the nucleus and take up most of the volume.
