The individual protons and neutrons are basically indistinguishable; they don't have different names.

Can atoms be broken down into smaller particles if Yes then what are the names of the particle?

Atoms consist of protons, neutrons, and electrons. Protons and neutrons, in turn, are made up of quarks.Atoms consist of protons, neutrons, and electrons.

What are the names of the parts of the atoms?

Neutrons, protons and electrons are the parts of Atoms.


Names of particles that are smaller thsn atom?

ALL the subatomic particles, protons, neutrons, electrons, quarks, neutrinos, etc.


What particles came together to form protons and neutrons?

Quarks. They come in a total of 6 varieties called (flavours). Up, down, strange, charm, bottom and top which are figurative names describing various properties. Different combinations of quarks make up Neutrons and protons and other less stable particles. To find out details please look up quantum chromodynamics. The term quark was applied by Murray Gell-Mann.


What are the names and numbers of the particles in an atom of sodium?

The atomic number is 11 and atomic mass is 23. The number of protons and electrons in sodium is 11 and the number of neutrons is 12


What is the combined name for protons and neutrons?

There is no simple combined term for both of them, but you can refer to them as the nucleus of the atom. Particles made of three quarks are called baryons. This includes the proton and neutron but would also include and anti-proton. (A neutron is its own antiparticle)


What is the mass number minus the atomic number called?

Nucleon Number (total number of protons and neutrons)


Are there smaller particles than a atom?

Yes. An atom is made up of protons and neutrons(in the nucleus) and electrons (that go around the nucleus). Both protons and neutrons, in turn, are made up of quarks.We have no names for particles smaller than quarks if any exist. Quarks cannot exist alone (they are always in triplets of different "flavors") whereas electrons do have solitary existence.


How many particles exists in nucleus?

At a simple level, only two: protons and neutrons. The largest known atom has 294 of them in total. If you want to get into more detail about atomic structure, each proton and neutron is made up of three quarks.


What are the names of 2 nucleons?

The particles found in the nucleus are collectively called nucleons. Nucleons are protons and neutrons.

What are the names of 4 forces?

The four forces are: Gravity, Electromagnatic, the strong force( force binds neutrons and protons together in an atom), and the weak force (electron and antineutrino).
