What small particles are protons and neutrons composed of?

Protons and neutrons are composed of smaller particles called quarks. Protons are made up of two "up" quarks and one "down" quark, while neutrons are made up of one "up" quark and two "down" quarks.


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 are Protons and Neutrons called when they are made up of smaller particles?

Protons and neutrons are made up of smaller particles called quarks. Each proton and neutron is composed of three quarks: protons are made up of two up quarks and one down quark, while neutrons consist of one up quark and two down quarks.


What types of particles are proton and neutrons and electrons?

Protons and neutrons are composed of smaller particles called quarks. Protons are made of two "up" quarks and one "down" quark, while neutrons are made of two "down" quarks and one "up" quark. Electrons are fundamental particles and are classified as leptons.


Why are neutrons neutral in charge?

Neutrons are neutral in charge because they are made up of three smaller particles called quarks - two down quarks and one up quark. The combination of these quarks results in a net charge of zero, making neutrons electrically neutral.

What is the name of the smaller particle that makes up neutrons?

Protons and neutrons are made up of three quarkseach.


Is a electron smaller than a neutron?

No, protons and neutrons are in the nucleus and the electrons orbit around the nucleus. This all happens inside the atom.


What are the two sub atomic particles which have relativel equal masses?

Protons and neutrons have relatively equal masses. Electrons have a much smaller mass than the others.


Do fission products have smaller nuclei than reactants?

Yes, fission products typically have smaller nuclei than the reactants. During fission, a heavy nucleus splits into two or more smaller nuclei, releasing energy and neutrons. These fission products are generally lighter and more stable than the original nucleus.


In subatomic particles do protons and neutrons have the same mass?

No, protons and neutrons do not have the same mass. Protons have a slightly smaller mass than neutrons. The difference in mass between the two particles is due to the different composition of quarks that make up each particle.


What two things are a alpha particle made up of?

Protons and Neutrons


Is two sevenths smaller than two elevenths?

two elevenths is smaller


What is the force needed to hold together a nucleus?

Nuclear force- it is a force that exists between two or more nucleons, it is responsible for the bonding of the neutrons and protons. The reason itself is much more complicated because it involves quarks which are smaller than protons or neutrons.


What are two things neutrons have?

Neutrons have size (about 10-13 cm in diameter) and mass (1.6749 x 10-27 kg).


Which particle is the lightest particale in the following 1. electon 2. neutron 3. proton 4. a-particles?

The electron is the lightest particle in the list. A proton is 1836 times more massive than an electron. Neutrons are just slightly more massive than a proton, and an alpha particle consists of two protons and two neutrons.


What part of speech is the word smaller?

The word smaller is an adjective. It means to be more small than something else.
