What particles are in a liquid can?

Particles that can be found in a liquid can include molecules of the liquid itself, dissolved solute particles, and sometimes suspended particles such as dust or bacteria. These particles contribute to the properties and behavior of the liquid.


Which subatomic particles in an atom are made up of even smaller subatomic particles?

Some sub-atomic particles are composite particles. These particles are made from other 'smaller' particles. Examples are the particles that can be found in an atom's nucleus: protons and neutrons. Both these particles consist of 3 quarks. Elementary particles are particles that, at least to present knowledge, are not made from other particles. They are thus the fundamental building blocks from which everything is made, they are not made of anything, they just are. Examples are the electron and the photon.


Think of a metal spoon in a pot of hot water. How do the particles of the water affect the particles of the spoon?

Conduction is what transfers the heat in this process. The fast moving particles in the hot electric coil collide with the slow-moving particles in the cool pot. The transfer of the heat causes the pot's particles to move faster. Then the pot's particles collide with the water's particles, which in turn collide with the particles of the spoon. As the particles move faster, the metal spoon becomes hotter.


How are the particles of the solution like?

In a solution, the particles are evenly distributed throughout the solvent. These particles can be molecules, ions, or atoms that are in a homogeneous mixture with the solvent. The size of the particles in a solution is typically smaller than those in a suspension or colloid.

What does a elementary particles do?

What elementary particles do would depend on what type of particle they are. For example, there are antimatter particles, force particles, and matter particles.


What is small particles of soil called?

Small particles of soil are called "soil particles" or "soil grains." These particles can vary in size from sand particles to silt and clay particles.


Do minerals have particles?

If particles means atoms and sub-atomic particles such as Hadrons, then yes minerals do have particles. Every physical substance has particles.


What are difference between subatomic particles and elementary particles?

Elementary (fundamental) particles have not components; other particles (as protons and neutrons) are composed from other particles.
