Best Answer

A particle smaller than atom is a subatomic particle, protons , neutrons, and , electrons, the smallest one is an electron, smaller than that are point particles and elementary particles, one elementary particle and point particle is a quark, up quarks down quarks the smallest single thing found so far is a GLUON, which is the force which binds/holds quarks together. Where the devil lives in anti matter there are also atoms and subatomic particles and point particles but just anti, anti- GLUON, anti-QUARK, anti-ATOM, anti-SUBATOMIC PARTICLE. There is something called the string theory, and super string theory that theorizes about bosonic/boson strings but it can not be provine yet, and I think a gluon is still alot smaller than a bosonic/boson string if they are true.

An atom consists of atomic particles, with a nucleus surrounded by one or more electrons. The nucleus contains protons and neutrons.

These atomic particles are made from even smaller things called sub-atomic particles. An example of a sub-atomic particle is a quark.There are six types of quarks : up, down, bottom, top, strange and charm, protons being made up of 3 where 2 quacks are in side of a proton and one in down.whereas neutrons are made up of 2 down and one up quark

There is also a family of particles which are smaller than an atom called Mesons. This family includes pions, kaons and B-Mesons which all consist of quarks and anti quarks

Yes, all that is true, but there is another thing smaller than an atom..... its called a Quantum Particle. There is also something that is smaller than a quantum particle....... but it is only a theory.

Particals smaller than atoms are called subatomic particals and the three particals that are known to make up atoms are protons, neutrons, and electrons but there are particals even smaller and they are known as querks

electrons, protrons and nuetrons make up atoms and, thus, are smaller than atoms. Quarks make up protrons and nuetrons and even smaller. All of these things are known as "sub-atomic particles."

A quark, it is 1/100 the size of an atom and is what makes up protons and neutrons. Also protons, neutrons, and electrons are smaller because they are what makes up atoms

Yes dust particles can be smaller than an atom. I read it in a health magazine it was in the fun facts.

Smaller than subatomic particles are quarks and gluons.

Which is smaller an element or a molecule?

An atom of an element is usually smaller than a molecule of a compound. Molecules are made by bonding 2 or more atoms, of one or more elements. The molecule is the smallest particle of a compound.
