Quarks are the particles that make up protons and neutrons. There are no particles, as far as we know, that make up electrons.

What is A particle not made up of other particles?

subatomic particleIn physics or chemistry, subatomic particles are the small particles composing nucleons and atoms. There are two types of subatomic particles: elementary particles, which are not made of other particles, and composite particles.


Is a proton a subatomic particle?

Yes, a proton is considered a subatomic particle. The proton, the neutron and the electron are smaller than atoms (making them subatomic particles). Further, these three particles are considered the building blocks of atoms. There are other subatomic particles, and to learn more, begin by examining the proton, neutron and the electron and finding out what it is that makes them up.Yes, protons are subatomic particles which are found in the nucleus of the atom and have a positive charge.


Is a photon a positively charged particle in the atomic nucleus?

A subatomic particle are smaller particles composing nucleons and atoms. The two types of subatomic particle are elementary, they are not made of other particles and composite. A photon is an elementary type of subatomic particle.


What is a sub-atomic particle?

A subatomic particle is something smaller than an atom. These are further broken up into elementary and composite subatomic particles. Electrons are elementary, whereas protons and neutrons are composite and can still be further broken down.


What are the two parts of a subatomic particle?

Subatomic particles are made up of 2 parts; composite particles and elementary particles. The composite particles consist of the protons and neutrons comprised in an atom. The elementary particles have no substructure and are not made up of any other particles.


What is the significance of the charge of subatomic particles in the field of particle physics?

The charge of subatomic particles is significant in particle physics because it determines how they interact with each other and with electromagnetic fields. Understanding these interactions helps scientists study the fundamental forces and building blocks of the universe.


What is particle collision?

Particle collision usually refers to two subatomic particles slamming into each other at high speeds causing them to break into smaller particles. These speeds are created by particle accelerators.


How many subatomic particles are present in an atom except proton neutron electron and what are they?

The only subatomic particles that exist in an atom are protons, neutrons, and electrons.


What subatomic particles decide an element's behavior or chemical activity?

The subatomic particle you are asking about is the electron. There are other subatomic particles which make up the neutrons and protons, but they are not involved in chemical bonding. The only thing that makes up an electron is an electron, nothing else.


What do we mean by the spin of a subatomic particle and how does it influence its properties and behavior?

The spin of a subatomic particle refers to its intrinsic angular momentum. This property influences the particle's magnetic moment, energy levels, and interactions with other particles. The spin also determines the particle's quantum numbers and behavior in quantum mechanics.


Why subatomic particles are called fundamental particles?

A positron is a fundamental particle because it does not consist of smaller particles, which would make it a composite particle. Fundamental particles can still decay or change identity however, but they have no (at least at this point) discernible internal structure. A proton on the other hand is a composite particle; it has an internal structure and consists of a mixture of gluons and quarks (which both are fundamental particles).


What are positiely charged subatomic particles?

Of the hundreds of subatomic particles, many have an electric charge. The best-know particle with a positive charge is the proton. Subatomic particles are considered only protons, neutrons, electrons. The other particles form the large group of elementary particles (which includes also p, n and e).
