There are particles that weigh less than a quark, such as an electron, a neutrino, etc. But in terms of the volume of space that they occupy, no particle is smaller than a quark. Note that the concept of occupying space does not work exactly the same way on sub-atomic scales as it does on larger scales, due to quantum dynamic factors.Nothing, a quark is an infinitesimal point particle (as are photons, leptons, and neutrinos). Nothing can be smaller than a point.
What else can I help you with?
What is smaller then an atom?
Electrons for one, and protons and neutrons are composed of quarks
What is the scientific name for quark?
Quark.
What particle can exist alone and is smaller than any other?
A particle smaller than atom is a subatomic particle, protons , neutrons, and , electrons, the smallest one is an electron, smaller than that are point particles and elementary particles, one elementary particle and point particle is a quark, up quarks down quarks the smallest single thing found so far is a GLUON, which is the force which binds/holds quarks together. Where the devil lives in anti matter there are also atoms and subatomic particles and point particles but just anti, anti- GLUON, anti-QUARK, anti-ATOM, anti-SUBATOMIC PARTICLE. There is something called the string theory, and super string theory that theorizes about bosonic/boson strings but it can not be provine yet, and I think a gluon is still alot smaller than a bosonic/boson string if they are true. HOPE THIS HELPS
What is a charm quark?
A charm quark is an elementary particle with an electrical charge of +2⁄3 e. It's a second generation up-type quark and has a mass of about 1.5 GeV/c2.
Smallest basic unit of matter?
an atom Actually, the smallest unit of matter is called a Quark. Quarks combine to form protons and neutrons, which are the core of an atom.
Which particle is smaller: a proton or a quark?
A quark is smaller than a proton.
Is there any particle that is smaller than a atom?
quark
What is smaller than an atom and begins with the letter q?
A quark is a fundamental subatomic particle, or class of subatomic particles. It is smaller than an atom.
What is the smallest thing anything can be?
a quark..but scientists believe that there are things even smaller than that
Which is the smallest particle a molecule an atom a proton a neutron or a quark?
A quark is the smallest known particle, which makes up protons and neutrons found in the nucleus of atoms. This means that quarks are smaller than protons, neutrons, atoms, and molecules.
What two things are smaller than neutrons?
Protons and electrons are both smaller than neutrons. Neutrons are composed of three quarks, while protons have two up quarks and one down quark, and electrons are fundamental particles with no substructure.
Is anything smaller than a quark?
As of current scientific understanding, quarks are considered to be the smallest known particles and cannot be divided into smaller parts.
What can a quark do?
a quark is a fundamental constituent of matter. It is what makes up protons and neutrons and there is nothing smaller than them. They cannot DO anything alone, merely make up other things
What are enzyemes?
Enzymes are proteins that act as biological catalysts.
What is smaller then an atom?
Electrons for one, and protons and neutrons are composed of quarks
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.
How big is a quark and what is its significance in the field of particle physics?
A quark is a tiny particle that is smaller than an atom. Its significance in particle physics is that it is a fundamental building block of matter, combining to form protons and neutrons. Quarks help scientists understand the structure of matter and the forces that hold it together.
