Matter in the world around us is composed of atoms. Yes, it's composed of molecules, but they're composed of atoms. Atoms come in many different flavors (elements), but all atoms are composed of three fundamental building blocks. (Let's not roll out the particle zoo here. And give those strings a rest.) The building blocks of atoms are electrons, protons and neutrons. Any atom of any element can be built with a combination of electrons, protons and neutrons. These three fundamental building blocks make up all the atoms of all the molecules of the world around us - and even make us up, too.

What part of matter does electricity involve?

Electricity involves charged particles. An electric current involves the movement of charged particles. These charged particles MAY be electrons, and often are; but it is possible to have an electric current with many other types of charged particles.


What are soft particles and how do they differ from other types of particles?

Soft particles are small, flexible particles that can change shape easily. They differ from other types of particles, like hard particles, because they are more deformable and can move more freely in response to external forces.


What is the name for the emission of rays and particles by a radioactive material?

The name for the emissions of rays and particles by a radioactive material are called radioactive decay. There are many different types of radioactive decay that emit different rays and particles.


How many types of particles do compounds have?

Compounds are made up of two or more types of atoms that are chemically bonded together, so they contain a variety of particles. The primary particles in a compound are molecules, which consist of atoms linked by covalent bonds, or ions in the case of ionic compounds. Therefore, the types of particles in compounds can include molecules and ions, depending on the nature of the compound. Overall, compounds can be classified based on the types of atoms they contain, typically involving elements from different groups in the periodic table.
