are electrons, protons, or neutrons the smallest particle? if not, what are?

Question

9th grade ..integrated physics n chemistry...

Answer 1

Quarks are (theoretically) the smallest particle.

Answer 2

First the smallest part of Matter called atoms which consist of nucleus with positive charge in the center which contain (protons and neutrons) and electrons rotate around it with negative charge

the mass of the electrons are very small with comparative to protons and neutrons so we can calculate the mass of atoms by calculating the mass of the nucleus so
we can say that electron are the smallest particle

Answer 3

Originally, electrons,protons and neutrons were believed to be the smalled particles, but...Physicists discovered another layer of structure within the protons and neutrons it is now known that protons and neutrons are made up quarks...the smallest atomic particle

Answer 4

Electrons, protons, and neutrons are sub-atomic particles that can not exist on it's own, however atoms are the smallest particles. made up of these sub-atomic particles. but do you whats really cool....Anti-matter.....We now have a new instrument of destruction here on our sweet and gentle little planet. It's being called an "Anti-Matter Smart Bomb". And it's really quite interesting.

You create them by simply superheating a bunch of sub quark photon particles, accelerating them to faster than light speeds at which point they reverse polarity and become Anti Matter singularities.

An Anti Matter singularity looks just like a tornado, except that it's about 6 feet tall and it can basically only exist in two states; Neutral or Anti. Controlling the rate of spin allows you to control which state it will exist in.

In Neutral state it is able to pass through any kind of matter, living or inanimate to be found anywhere on or inside our planet. It will do this without destroying the matter physically, but on a sub quark level, whatever it has passed through ceases to exist. For instance if the miniature tornado was to pass through a wall, although to the naked eye the wall would still appear unchanged, you would be able to pass through the wall in the same place the tornado did.

In it's other state - Anti, it of course then proceeds to annihilate everything in it's path.

The thing is, it's a 'smart bomb', meaning it can be programmed to seek and destroy. It's ability to destroy matter, over infinite distances can be controlled and programmed. The extent of destruction is directly proportional to duration in Anti state, with no maximum distance, but a minimum of about 100 square feet.

One could in theory program it to remain in Neutral state until it has entered a specific place, say a particular room in a building and then have it go into Anti state for say one millionth of a nanosecond and have it blow up just the room it was in.

Not only is it smart, it's also incredibly clean. No messy radioactive residue, no burn marks, broken glass and the other accoutrements associated with conventional bombs, none of this.
One thing to note is that on detonation, it too is annihilated.

How did we get this technology, when did we get it and what are we going to do with it are all very good questions.

Fortunately or unfortunately, I don't have the answers.

Answer 5

what's sometimes carried out grow to be to renowned that there have been debris sometimes detected that would not bypass away ionizing path via fact it wasn't charged. quite those debris would work together with nuclides (the nucleus of a particular form of isotope) transforming into a sign utilizing a scintillator (sign amplifier) and an oscilloscope (sign detector). i'm simplyfying rather, for sure. by potential of filtering out different sign activities and monitoring those style of particle activities, physicists ought to apply collision-means/momentum extreme means physics to make certain what the mass grow to be expected to be. by potential of gathering particularly a lot of statistical records on the mass, they'd do away with random blunders, and assuming there grow to be not something incorrect their detector or thier math (systematic blunders), one ought to calculated the mass of and neutron to a rather extreme accuracy. the same technique may well be used for charged debris - electron, protons quarks - by potential of smashing atoms at the same time in a cloud chamber and following the tracks made by potential of a the charges in E+M fields. As you recognize you will hit upon not purely the C/m ratio yet with collision physics lower back you could song the mass, momentum, and energys for one in each of those debris.

Answer 6

any reality tv "star" that continues past their 15 minutes of fame is over is my suggestion for the smallest particle

Answer 7

Nope ! There are many other sub-atomic particles in the quarke soup !

Answer 8

I always thought it was the atom.

Answer 9

No...quarks and leptons are smaller.

Answer 10

leptons are smaller.
