How are subatomic particles arranged?

Answer 1

Subatomic particles are arranged in the following way.

1) Elementary particles: These particles are not composed of other particles. Fermions: These are particles with half-integer spins, meaning they follow the Pauli exclusion principle; i.e. they can't be in the same place at the same time. i) Quarks: These are the particles that are responsible for fermionic interactions with the strong nuclear force. Examples include up, down, strange, charm, top, and bottom.

ii) Leptons: These are fermions that aren't effected by the strong nuclear force. Examples include electrons and neutrinos.

Bosons: Particles with integer spins, meaning they don't follow the Pauli exclusion principle; i.e. they can be in the same place at the same time. Examples include photons, gluons, and the Higgs.

2) Composite Particles: These are particles comprised of elementary particles. a) Hadrons: These particles are composed of quarks and therefore interact with the strong nuclear force. i) Baryons: These particles contain three quarks and therefore have half-integer spins, meaning they are fermions. Examples include protons and neutrons.

ii) Mesons: These particles contain two quarks and therefore have integer spins, meaning they are bosons. The pion is the best-known example.

b) Nuclei: These particles are composed of protons and neutrons and are mediated by mesons. These, combined with electrons, form atoms, which is where any answer concerning subatomic particles must end.

Answer 2

Subatomic particles are arranged in atoms, with protons and neutrons located in the nucleus, and electrons orbiting the nucleus. Protons have a positive charge, neutrons have no charge, and electrons have a negative charge. The number of protons determines the element's identity, while the number of electrons determines its charge.

Answer 3

Protons and Neutrons in the nucleus and electrons outside

Answer 4

Protons and neutrons are situated in the atomic nucleus; electrons orbit arround this nucleus.

Answer 5

Protons and neutrons are in the central atomic nucleus; electrons are in a continuous movement around nucleus.
