A proton can be divided into 2 Ups and a Down quark, and a neutron into 2 Downs and an Up quark. In general the quark is the elementary particle from which protons and neutron are formed.

Is it true that atoms can not be subdivided?

No. Each atom (except for Hydrogen) is made up of neutrons, protons, and electrons. Each of these components can be further subdivided into quarks, etc.


How can matter be subdivided?

Matter can be subdivided into elements, which are pure substances made up of only one type of atom. Elements can further be subdivided into smaller particles called atoms. Atoms consist of a nucleus containing protons and neutrons, surrounded by electrons. Subatomic particles such as quarks and leptons make up protons, neutrons, and electrons.


State the structure of an atom?

Atoms are basic building blocks of matter, and cannot be chemically subdivided by ordinary means. Atoms are composed of three type of particles: protons, neutrons, and electron. Protons and neutrons are responsible for most of the atomic mass.


How many neutrons do protons have?

Neutrons are completely separate from protons, so neutrons do not have any protons, and protons do not have any neutrons.


Can subatomic particles be further subdivided?

SOME sub-atomic particles will decay into other particles. For example, a neutron will spontaneously change into a proton, an electron, and a neutrino.


Is there a limit to how far matter can be subdivided?

Yes. Matter is all made up of atoms: protons, neutrons, and electrons. Protons are made up of quarks, and electrons are made up of leptons. As far as we know so far, quarks and leptons are as far subdivided as it gets, but who knows what future science enquiries will bring.


What are the building blocks of the all matter?

The building block of all matter are atoms. All matter is made out of atoms, atoms in turn are made out of protons, neutrons and electrons.
