What to subatomic particles make up an atom?
Given that these particles make up atoms, they are often referred to as subatomic particles. There are three subatomic particles: protons, neutrons and electrons. Two of the subatomic particles have electrical charges: protons have a positive charge while electrons have a negative charge.
Are there atoms in subatomic particles?
A typical atom consists of three subatomic particles: protons, neutrons, and electrons (as seen in the helium atom below). Other particles exist as well, such as alpha and beta particles (which are discussed below).
What is the relationship between atoms and subatomic particles?
Atoms are made up of even smaller subatomic particles, which include three important types: the proton, neutron, and electron. The number of positively-charged protons and non-charged (“neutral”) neutrons, gives mass to the atom, and the number of each in the nucleus of the atom determines the element.
Can you arrange the subatomic particles in any other way in an atom?
For a stable atom, you cannot.
What is not a subatomic particle that makes up the atom?
There are three sub- atomic particles that are, electrons, protons and neutrons. Electrons are negatively charged, protons are positively charged while neutrons are neutral particles and carry no charge. Nucleus is not a sub- atomic particle.

| Subatomic particle | Symbol | Location |
|---|---|---|
| Proton | p | inside the nucleus |
| Neutron | n | inside the nucleus |
| Electron | e- | outside the nucleus |
Are there more subatomic particles?
More than 200 subatomic particles have been detected—most of them highly unstable, existing for less than a millionth of a second—as a result of collisions produced in cosmic ray reactions or particle accelerator experiments.
Which of the following is not a subatomic particle that makes up the atom?
Thus, we can say that there are three sub- atomic particles namely electrons, protons and neutrons. Nucleus is not a sub- atomic particle. Thus, the correct answer is C.
What are the changes of the subatomic particles?
If the number of protons, neutrons, or electrons changes, it changes the properties of the atom in a major way.
- #1 Changing Proton Number.
- #2 Changing Neutron Number.
- #3 Changing Electron Number.
What are the subatomic particles of an atom?
Given below is the subatomic particles list. Protons and neutrons both together make up the nucleus of an atom and are therefore called nucleons. Protons are the positively charged subatomic particles. The number of protons present in an atom equals the number of electrons in it.
What led to the discovery of the subatomic particles?
The continued efforts of the scientists eventually led to the discovery of the subatomic particles. The three primary subatomic particles which constitute an atom are shown below: Image will be uploaded soon.
What factors contribute to the existence of an atom?
Electromagnetic force is another factor contributing to the existence of atom. It is this force that brings about the attraction of oppositely charged particles and the repulsion of particles having like electric charges.
Are atoms the ultimate particles of matter?
For a long time, it was believed that atoms are the ultimate particles that matter is made up of and that these atoms cannot be divided further. The experiments conducted during the latter half of the nineteenth century and early years of the twentieth century revealed that the atom is not the ultimate particle.
