Subatomic particle
Subatomic particle
A Subatomic particle is a unit particle or a packet of matter or energy that is the fundamental constituent of matter. Subatomic particles include electrons, protons, and neutrons, which are the composite particles. They are smaller than an atom and can be either composite or elementary.
Overview[edit | edit source]
Subatomic particles are the building blocks of the universe. They are the smallest units of matter and energy and are the basis for all matter and energy in the universe. They are the fundamental constituents of matter and are responsible for the properties and behavior of all physical phenomena.
Types of Subatomic Particles[edit | edit source]
There are two main types of subatomic particles: elementary particles and composite particles.
Elementary Particles[edit | edit source]
Elementary particles are particles that are not made up of other particles. They are the basic building blocks of the universe and include particles such as quarks, leptons, and bosons.
Composite Particles[edit | edit source]
Composite particles are particles that are made up of other particles. They are composed of two or more elementary particles and include particles such as hadrons, baryons, and mesons.
Properties of Subatomic Particles[edit | edit source]
Subatomic particles have various properties, including mass, charge, spin, and color charge. These properties determine the behavior of the particles and their interactions with other particles.
Interactions of Subatomic Particles[edit | edit source]
Subatomic particles interact with each other through four fundamental forces: the strong force, the weak force, the electromagnetic force, and the gravitational force.
