Generally speaking, subatomic particles are particles smaller than an atom. There are the three basic ones that make up atoms, and you probably already know that those are protons, neutrons and electrons.

If we delve more deeply into the physics of the subatomic world, more and more particles will appear. At one point, there were literally dozens and dozens of different subatomic particles, and they created what was called a particle zoo. Since then, some newer ideas regarding the world of these tiny particles has arisen, and most of the particles in the zoo were recognized as composite particles made up of a just a few fundamental particles.

Begin learning about subatomic particles by developing an understanding of protons, neutrons and electrons. Then find out what makes them up, and move from there to the number and nature of fundamental particles.
