Lepton is the common name given to electron, positron, neutrino, antinuetrino, mu-meson [muon] etc. So an atom has these elementary particles within and come out in specific circumstances.

Why is the mass of an element not added to the atomic mass of an atom?

Because the electron is a lepton, and is not made of quarks.

That should be the lepton. The electronic lepton (e-) to be accurate. More information: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lepton


What is the smallest part of an element that retains the properties of the element atoms lepton or quark?

The smallest particle that retains the properties of an element is an atom. Quarks and leptons are just a family of elementary particles and do not carry any properties of the element.


Smallest part of a pure substance?

If the pure substance is not an element, the smallest part is a molecule (which is made of atoms) for instance, pure water is made of water molecules, which are made of 2 hydrogen atoms and 1 oxygen atom If the pure substance is an element, the smallest part is an atom. (which is made of Protons, Neutrons, and Electrons) Pure hydrogen is made of atoms. A stable hydrogen atom has 1 proton, 1 neutron, and 1 electron. Protons and Neutrons can be broken down further into Quarks, Leptons, and Bosons. The Electron is a type of Lepton.

How are the wavelength and spin of a lepton related?

The wavelength of a lepton is inversely proportional to its momentum, which is related to its energy and mass. The spin of a lepton is a fundamental property intrinsic to the particle itself, independent of its momentum or wavelength.

no an atom is a part of a molecule.


What do electrons have in them?

There is currently no scientific evidence for any constituents of an electron. So, for now, the electron is a lepton (a lepton is any fundamental particle).
