Particle Physics
Relatively recent experimental results have confirmed what philosophers throughout history had theorized all along; that all matter is made up of elementary particles. Those curious about this cutting-edge field of physics known as particle physics should post their questions here, including those about fundamental particles, fundamental forces, Grand Unified Theories, and the extraordinary devices that have been or need to be engineered to research them.

Why is an atom with fewer electrons in the outer shell more reactive?
That isn't really true. What makes atoms more reactive is if their electronic configuration is nearly that of a noble gas -- in other words is either has just one or two electrons less or more than a noble gas.So elements with either 1, 2, 6 or 7 valence electrons tend to be especially reactive.
so the guy who gave the first answer doesnt know what hes talking about.
What are the silimarities between a proton and an electron?
Both are subatomic particles. Protons have positive charge, electrons have negative charge. The charges are equal and opposite.
Whats molybdenum's electron configuration?
Molybdenum's electon configuration is [Kr] 5s1 4d5 this is because all elements want to be half-full or full. so the 2nd electron in the 5s2 moves to make the 4d4 complete so it turns to 5s1 4d5....making Mo half-full and stable.
What effect does the charge of the atom have on the number of protons?
The number of protons compared to electrons is what determines the charge of the atom. If there are more protons than electrons the atom is positively charged. If there's more electrons than protons the atom is negatively charged. Does this answer your question?
Yes, the great majority of the mass of an atom is in the nucleus.
Gauge bosons are elementary particles (subatomic particles). An elementary particle is a substance that can not be broken down anymore. So to answer your question: Gauge bosons are the forces of what makes up nature. For example: Photon=electromagnetic force, gluon=strength, z and w bosons=weakness and gravitons=gravity (not yet observed). The different particles can be found on the Elementary particle table. I hope this partially answers your question.
What force holds an electron in an atom?
The electromagnetic force. This is because the nucleus in the center of the atom is positively charged, whilst the electron is negatively charged, and an attractive force exists between them.
You both have 10 neutrons in your nuclei what are you?
Number of neutrons = Atomic mass - Atomic number
So Fluorine = 19- 9 = 10 and Neon = 20-10 = 10 :)
Isotope
How many protons are in an atom which has 55 neautrons and 43 electons?
If this atom has 43 electron it must have 43 protons to be a neutral atom of no charge.
What is the electron dot formula for ni3?

Sorry about the wierd spacing but there is a single bond on the top of the N and on the bottom
Can a lepton travel faster than the speed of light?
Leptons have mass.
According to special relativity, no particle with mass can travel at or faster than the speed of light. It would take infinite energy to do so.

Does friction create protons or electrons?
nope, but the triboelectric effect create an electrostatic charge
What three particles determine which element you have?
An atom of an element is comprised of protons, electrons, and usually neutrons. The specific element is determined by the number of protons, and so there is only one particle that determines the element.
What is the results of losing electrons?
when a neutral atom loses an electron it becomes a positive ion. it now has a stable outer most shell.
What is the difference between photons and electrons?
Photons have no charge, no rest mass and travel at the speed of light throuh a vacuum. Electrons have a charge of -1, have rest mass and are part of atoms.
If I remember correctly the 64 had tail light lenses that were kind of triangle shaped looking down at them, looking straight at them they were higher in the middle, and the 66 were kind of curved, with the outside edge being higher. The tailgates are different as well the top of the 66 gate is concaved for about 6 or 7 inches from the top then it's convexed all the way to the bottom, they have different emblems too. My 2cents worth: I think you are going to have trouble. '64 and '65 parts should be interchangeable, understanding that the grill and headlghts are different between theses years. When you get inside, the gauge cluster bezel and the console, if so equiped, are also different, although interchangeable. I think the tail lights are the same, and I know all the stainless / chrome bed trim is identical. When you get to '66 and '67, they share a comon body, and you could change out front end sheet metal, grill and headlights with each other, but not with '64 / '65. Most of the bed trim is the same '64 through '67. The taillights are different, and the interiors are way different. Similarly '68 and '69 share a body style, as do '70, '71 and '72. The girlls and headlights changed almost every year. I'm not sure about '71 and '72. On interesting tid bit, the '70 through '72 fenders from a car won't work on an El Camino of the same year, unless it is a station wagon. Check out the web sites for ACES, the American Chevelle Enthusiast's Scociety, or Chevelle Talk and you can find a wealth of information.
Inner-shell electrons are electrons that?
inner shell electrons : the electrons that are not in the the highest occupied energy level .
