Since they seem to be elementary particles, perhaps they have no such thing as a diameter - you might thing of them as "point-like". This issue isn't settled yet; from the Wikipedia article on elementary particles: "For mathematical purposes, elementary particles are normally treated as point particles, although some particle theories such as string theory posit a physical dimension."

When 8 spheres with a diameter of 1mm coalesce to form a single sphere how big will it be?
The volume of a sphere is 4/3 (pi) (R)3 .The volume of each of the 8 spheres is 4/3 (pi) (0.5)3 .That's (pi/6) mm3 each and 4pi/3 mm3 all together.To find the size of the combined sphere, start againwith the volume formula and solve it for the radius:V = 4/3 pi R3Multiply each side by 3/4 :3/4 V = pi R3Divide each side by pi :3V/4pi = R3Take the cube root of each side:R = the cube root of (3V/4pi)Up above, we wound up with a volume of 4pi/3 mm3 .So the radius of our new sphere iscube root of (3V/4pi) = cube root of (3/4pi x 4pi/3) = cube root of (1) = 1 mm==========================Check the answer (and a much easier way in whichthe answer could have been found):-- Volume of a sphere = 4/3 pi R3 .Notice that the volume is proportional to the cube of the radius,and therefore also to the cube of the diameter.-- The volume of the big sphere was 8 times the volume of the little ones.So the big diameter should be the cube root of 8 times the small diameter.-- The cube root of 8 is 2.The small diameter is 1.The big diameter should be 2 x 1 = 2 .-- I calculated the big radius as 1.-- Yay !
