The nucleus of an atom is made up of two types of subatomic particles, protons and neutrons which together are sometimes called nucleons. These subatomic particles are in turn made up of smaller particles called quarks.

Can a atom divide into smaller particles?

Atoms consist of a nucleus made up of protons and neutrons, surrounded by electrons. Atoms can undergo nuclear reactions, such as fission or fusion, which can split the nucleus into smaller particles. However, in normal chemical reactions, atoms do not divide into smaller particles.
