Describe the basic particle from which all elements are made?

The basic particle from which all elements are made is an atom. Atoms consist of a nucleus made up of protons and neutrons, surrounded by electrons. Different elements are characterized by the number of protons in the nucleus, which determines their unique chemical properties.


What are the most fundamental substances of matter?

This is an age old question. Philosophers and scientists have theorized for years, and research is still being conducted at places such as CERN in Switzerland. Google the term "God Particle". For the purposes of a high-school or first year college course, it is an atom. But know that this is not true. Atoms or composed of electrons, protons, and neutrons, which are all also composed of components, and so forth.


What are the three subatomic particles in a atom besides protons neutrons and electrons?

Three subatomic particles found in atoms besides protons, neutrons, and electrons are up quarks, down quarks, and gluons. Up quarks and down quarks are the fundamental particles that make up the protons and neutrons found in atomic nuclei. Gluons are the exchange particles that transfer the information regarding the strong nuclear force between the quarks.


If you broke a piece of matter in to its smallest components you would be left with what?

Atoms... ---> protons, nuetrons, electrons ----> up and down quirks, subatomic particles and if you believe in string theory----. quarks are made up of vibrating springs.


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.

What particles or structure would not contain any quarks?

Any particle that is not a hadron does not contain quarks. Fundamental bosons and leptons are the only category of particles that do not contain quarks.


Do hadrons have leptons or just mesons and baryons?

Hadrons are particles composed of quarks. There are two (known) types of hadrons: mesons, which consist of a quark and an antiquark, and baryons, which consist of three quarks (or three antiquarks). Leptons are a separate type of particles. They are not composed of quarks, but are elementary particles in their own right.


The difference between a quark and a lepton is?

Quarks are elementary particles that combine to form protons and neutrons, which are found in the nucleus of atoms. Leptons are another type of elementary particle that do not participate in the strong nuclear force and include electrons, muons, and tau particles. Quarks have fractional electric charges while leptons have integer electric charges.
