Why electron is lightest subatomic particle?

Out of electrons, protons, and neutrons, neutrons are the heaviest subatomic particle, with a mass of about 1838 times that of the electron. (If you are asking about electrons, up quarks, and down quarks, then electrons still aren't the heaviest Down quarks are the heaviest, with almost 10 times the mass of an electron.)


What subatomic particle has a relative mass of 1?

The term nucleon is applied to any particle that makes up an atomic nucleus. That means it can be applied to either a proton or a neutron (but only when we are talking about them as the components of an atomic nucleus). The nucleon with the positive charge is the proton. You'll recall that the neutron is a neutral particle; it has no charge.


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 is the name of the particle which makes up all other subatomic particles?

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 the difference between a subatomic particle and a elementary particle?

A particle is of indeterminate size. Large 'particles' may be suspended in something like water and cause that substance to look cloudy. Smaller particles may be the subatomic particles like protons, neutrons, and electrons that make up atoms. Different atoms have different numbers of these particles, expecially protons which determine which atom it is.

A nucleon s a particle that makes up the nucleus of an atom. Protons and neutrons are both nucleons.


What does it mean when a subatomic particle is in the atom?

Basically, atoms are made up of subatomic particles. Subatomic, sub- meaning smaller that, so subatomic particles means "a particle smaller than an atom". So It means that it is a particle within the atom.

What is an electron composed of?

An electron is a fundamental particle that is considered to be an elementary particle, meaning it is not made up of smaller components. It is a negatively charged subatomic particle that orbits the nucleus of an atom.
