atoms
Matter is generally not submicroscopic. Matter consists of atoms and molecules, which are microscopic in size. Submicroscopic entities typically refer to particles smaller than atoms, like subatomic particles such as protons, neutrons, and electrons.
No, atoms are not the smallest particles of matter. Atoms are the smallest pieces of a chemical element, but atoms are made of even smaller particles. We know that neutrons, protons and electrons make up atoms. And there are even smaller particles when we begin to look at what is called the particle zoo.
Particulate matter. These particles can come from natural sources like wildfires or volcanoes, as well as human activities like burning fossil fuels. PM2.5 and PM10 are common size classifications for these particles, with PM2.5 being smaller and more harmful to health.
At the microscopic level, thermal energy is the total kinetic energy of the particles in a substance, including atoms and molecules, due to their random motion. As temperature increases, these particles move faster and collide more frequently, resulting in greater thermal energy. This energy can be transferred between particles through collisions, leading to the transfer of heat. Thus, thermal energy is a manifestation of the microscopic motion and interactions of matter.
The smallest components KNOWN so far are the quarks, and leptons (which include electrons). It is still possible that these are made up of smaller particles.

atoms, then protons and neutrons smaller, then electrons smaller again. Atoms are not microscopic though (unless you consider a very strong electron microscope, and at this, it is a push)

molecule
Microscopic particles of ash and dust in the air that can cause health problems are called particulate matter (PM). These particles can vary in size, with PM2.5 (particles with a diameter of 2.5 micrometers or smaller) being particularly concerning due to their ability to penetrate deep into the lungs and enter the bloodstream. Exposure to particulate matter is associated with respiratory and cardiovascular issues, as well as other health complications.
any chance you in mrs. black's class? I think it's thermal energy, btw

Because smoke contains microscopic particles of dust, ash and other substances.

particle
A submicroscopic particle is an entity that is too small to be viewed by any visible means (Including our most powerful microscopes) and can only be determined to BE by mathematical equation.
When molecules are broken down into smaller units, they are called atoms. Atoms are the basic building blocks of all matter and cannot be further divided into smaller particles without losing their chemical properties.
