What are the the small particles called in a in Adam?

The small particles in an atom are called subatomic particles, which include protons, neutrons, and electrons. Protons and neutrons are located in the nucleus of the atom, while electrons orbit around the nucleus in specific energy levels.


What are the small particles which make up matter?

To severely oversimplify it but remain accurate: quarks, leptons, intermediate vector bosons, and neutrinos. Every type of fundamental particle belongs to one of these categories, all particles in these categories are point particles (occupy zero volume).


What small subatomic particles are in the protons and neutrons?

The subatomic particles found in protons and neutrons are quarks. There are two types of quarks that combine to make either particle, up and down quarks. Protons are 2 ups and a down and neutrons are 2 downs and an up.


Is a nucleus a particle?

No, the nucleus itself is not a particle. It is made up of protons and neutrons, which are subatomic particles.


Atoms are made of?

Atoms are made of sub-atomic particles. In total their are 3 sub-atomic particles, protons, neutrons and electrons. Protons and neutrons make up the nucleus of the atom and are roughly the same mass whilst electrons orbit the nucleus and are found within a range of different shells. Protons are positively charged, neutrons have no charge whilst electrons are negatively charged. In an atom which is not ionic there are always the same number of electrons as protons.


What are the two subatomic particles with a mass?

In the atom, protons and neutrons; the mass of the electron is very small.


Are particles and atoms the same?

No, particles and atoms are not the same. Atoms are the basic building blocks of matter, composed of protons, neutrons, and electrons. Particles, on the other hand, refer to any tiny piece of matter, including atoms, subatomic particles, and other small entities.


What do neutrons consist of?

Neutrons consist of small particles, called "Quarks". Protons also consist of quarks, but what quarks is made of, is still not discovered.


What small particles are found inside the middle of the atom?

Protons and neutrons are found inside the nucleus of an atom. Electrons orbit the nucleus in the electron cloud surrounding the nucleus.
