What is the most massive elementary particle known to exist in the universe?
The most massive elementary particle known to exist in the universe is the top quark.
Which particle is not found in the nucleus?
Atoms are the building blocks of matter. Atoms are made up of electron, neutron and proton particles. Electrons are negatively charged, neutrons are neutral and protons have a positive charge.
What provides the energy for the elementary particles to spin?
That's a trick question. Spin is a characteristic of some elementary particles. It is like asking, what provides the energy for the electron to have mass or charge. If an electron did not have a spin of + or - 1/2 it would not be an electron. Furthermore, the electron doesn't really spin. It acts like a magnet and is deflected in an nonhomogeneuos magnetic field as tiny magnets would be. That means that some of the electrons go up while the others go down. People interpret this behavior as spin because a rotating charge will produce a magnetic field with the north pole on the top or on the bottom depending upon which direction the charge is spinning but most people do not believe that the electron (or other particles) are actually spinning. Because of this people talk of "spin" as a property of subatomic particles. Particles, such as electrons, can gain or lose energy and and as a result can change their spin.
What is relative energy in beta gamma ray and alpha?
Beta and gamma rays have lower energy compared to alpha particles. Alpha particles carry the highest energy among these three types of radiation, as they have two protons and two neutrons, making them the most massive and carrying the most kinetic energy. Beta particles are electrons with higher energy than gamma rays, which are electromagnetic radiation with the lowest energy.
What is an application of elementary particles research?
... Well, for once a CRT TV tube is a direct result of elementary particle physics research. I would not mention the 'side effects' such as creation of the Internet. Myriad of medical and security applications are in existence by now. Particle physics is (arguably) the most fundamental branch of natural science thus it impacts many aspects of our lives albeit seemingly indirectly.
What is the most massive elementary particle known to exist in the universe?
The most massive elementary particle known to exist in the universe is the top quark.
What lists ranks nuclear radiation from most massive to least massive?
The ranks for nuclear radiation from most massive to least massive are: alpha particles, beta particles, gamma rays, and neutron radiation. Alpha particles are the most massive and have the least penetration power, while neutron radiation is the least massive and can penetrate deeply into materials.
What is the list of particles in order from least massive to most massive?

Which particle is most massive in radioactivity?
You think probable to alpha particles.
What is the second most massive star known?
Look in the link below for a table of the most massive stars.
What is the largest and most massive planet?
Jupiter is the largest and most massive planet.
Most massive particles in an atom?
99.9% of an atom's mass is concentrated in the nucleus, with protons and neutrons having almost the same mass, with neutrons being slightly higher. So your question would be, 'What atom has the most protons and neutrons combined?' And that answer is Nobelium. Nobelium has 102 protons and 160 neutrons which makes it the most 'massive' atomic particle, even more so then Lawrencium which has 103 protons but only 159 neutrons. Of course, in a few months, we could have a new, more massive element.
A deposit of rock particles that are scratched and unsorted has most likely been transported and deposited by what?
The deposit is most likely transported and deposited by a glacier. Glaciers are massive sheets of ice that can carry rock particles long distances and leave behind unsorted and scratched deposits as they melt and retreat. This process is known as glacial deposition.
What massive structures did the Chinese build?
The Great Wall of China is the most well known.
What is definition for Pluto?
Pluto is the largest object in the Kuiper belt, and the tenth-most-massive body observed directly orbiting the Sun. It is the second-most-massive known dwarf planet, after Eris.
What particle in the atom is the least massive?
least - electron most - the top quark
From what is the Universe made of?
At the most basic level the universe is made of matter, energy and empty space. The empty space is colloquially known as "Vacuum", but no true vacuum exists naturally. Vacuum is the absence of matter or energy. Matter is made up of atoms, which are themselves made up of Protons, Neutrons and Electrons. Protons are positively charged particles that are present in the center of atoms, usually accompanied by Neutrons (the exception to this is Hydrogen, which has no Neutrons). Neutrons are particles without a net positive or negative charge. They reside in the center of most atoms and are slightly more massive then Protons. Electrons are the least massive of the three and they orbit around the center of the atom. All three of these particles, however, are made of elementary particles called Quarks. Quarks are a member of a group of particles known as elementary or fundamental particles. This group includes quarks, leptons, and bosons. These fundamental particles are further organized into bosons or fermions based on their spin. All things in the universe are made of bosons or fermions. Beyond that we also have energy. Energy is described as the ability of one thing to influence another. Energy can be categorized in two ways. Kinetic Energy and Potential Energy. Kinetic energy is energy that is being expressed upon the environment by the motion of the object, whether that be on the atomic or macroscopic scales. Potential Energy is Energy held in a system that has not been released, such as the energy of a coiled spring. If you want to know what the universe is made of on an even more basic scale I would advise you to read up on M-Theory which states that the universe is made of a series of interacting membranes.
