Of protons, neutrons or electrons, the electrons are the only ones at the outside to be transferred between atoms.

The measurement of kinetic or thermal energy is known as what?
When the energy is molecular, atomic, or ionic, it is known as temperature. It is kinetic because the temperature is the mean kinetic energy of these particles. This, by definition, is the thermal energy.
Particles can only be seen with a microscope why?
If by "particles" you mean sub atomic particles... then the answer is in the question.
What happens to the motion of molecules of matter when an object gains or loses thermal energy?
Increasing temperature means increased kinetic energy on the atomic or molecular level. Temperature of a given substance is the average kinetic energy of the particles of which that substance is composed.
Why does the coefficient of viscosity of liquids increase with an increase in temperature?
Temperature measures the speed of random thermal motion on the atomic and molecular level. When sub-microscopic particles are moving faster, the liquid as a whole will be more fluid and less viscous.
Alpha particles are repelled by atomic nuclei because?
Alpha particles are repelled by atomic nuclei because alpha particles have a positive charge, and so do atomic nuclei. The positive charge on the surface of a nucleus will repel another positive charge, like an alpha particle, because of the law of electrostatics. That's the simple answer. And it is correct. But know this: Alpha particles were used in the early investigations of atomic structure and atomic interactions. The alpha particles were used to bombard atomic nuclei, and there are times when an alpha particle will be absorbed by an atomic nucleus. Somehow the laws of electrostatics took the day off, and the fact that absorption took place opens the door to discovery and discussion of other atomic forces. Word up.

What are the different atomic particles?
The different atomic particles are:protonselectronsneutrons
Why are electrons atomic particles?
Because they are particles, and they are part of the atomic structure.
Definitions of sub atomic particles?
Sub-atomic particles are even smaller particles that make make an atom
Are particles destructitble?
Depends on 'what' particles: sand particles are, and atomic particles are not!
What particles move in atomic particles?
electrons
All metals transfer heat energy at the same rate?
No, (nearly) all metals have different thermal conductivity, since they all have different atomic/molecular structures.
How do chemical reactions proceed?
Atomic, and subatomic particles go to different atomic, and subatomic particles.
Why do quantum physicist typically use models to study atomic particles instead of observing atomic particles directly?
Atomic particles are too small to be easily observed directly.
What is the table of atomic particles?
I have never heard of a "table of atomic particles". Are you referring to the periodic table of elements?
What are the sub atomic particles for john daltons model?
protons,neutrons and electrons are the sub atomic particles
What instrumental did Thomson use to develop his theory?
