It depends in where you want to end your search. The "larger" particles are protons and neutrons.

These in turn are made up of quarks - Protons are made of two Up and one Down quark. The neutron is made of two Down and one Up quark. The difference is that Up quarks have a 2/3 positive charge and the Down has a 1/3 negative charge. The two types of quarks are your two basic particles.

At the present time no proposal has been made for quark building blocks,

What would happen to a nucleus if the strong force was absent?

the particles would all become de-localised, and no elements would exist, just sub-atomic particles.


What is positively charged particles in an atom?

Within an atom, the proton is the particle with the positive charge. Protons exist in the nucleus (center) of the atom. The number of protons in an atom's nucleus determines what type of element you have, and the periodic table is organized in order of increasing atomic number, which is the proton count.


Which neucleus is not within the radius of an atom?

A free proton is the nucleus of hydrogen atom and free alpha particle is the nucleus of helium atom and they may exist out side the atomic radius.


Could a nucleus of more than one proton but no nucleus exist?

No , because the neutrons have the same particles as the nucleus.


What element has 12 alpha particles and 4 neutrons?

What are the 2 particles that make up the nucleus of an atom?

Protons and neutrons compose the nucleus of an atom. Most of the mass of an atom exists in the nucleus. Other smaller sub atomic particles such as quarks exist, but are usually not addressed until advanced physics or chemistry classes.


Who said Protons exist?

Ernest Rutherford is credited with discovering that protons exist. In his famous gold foil experiment, Rutherford observed that alpha particles were deflected by the positive charge of the nucleus, leading to the conclusion that the nucleus contains positively charged particles which we now know as protons.


Could a nucleus of more than one proton but no neutrons exist?

No , because the neutrons have the same particles as the nucleus.

What are 2 examples of what are between particles?

Electromagnetic forces exist between particles, such as protons and electrons, which hold atoms together. Strong nuclear forces also act between particles within the nucleus of an atom, binding protons and neutrons together.


How are electrons held in orbit in their atoms?

Between electrons and the atomic nucleus a repulsion exist.


Where are the negatively charged particles within an atom?

The electrons, are the negatively charged particles that are part of an atom. They hang out in what is called an electron cloud around the nucleus of the atom. We might further say that those electrons exist in what we term electron shells, and within energy levels within those shells.
