Atomic particles are the building blocks of matter and exist in various forms, each with distinct properties. Some synonyms for atomic particles include subatomic particles, elementary particles, fundamental particles, quarks, neutrinos, positrons, electrons, protons, and nuclei. Subatomic particles are those that exist within atoms, and their properties determine the chemical nature of elements. Elementary particles are the most basic particles that exist, while fundamental particles are the smallest particles in nature that cannot be broken down further. Quarks and neutrinos are types of elementary particles, while positrons, electrons, and protons constitute the atomic structure. Finally, nuclei are the central part of atoms that contain most of an atom's mass.

Famous quotes with Atomic particles

  • The particular features of the photographic method of detecting atomic particles enabled us to establish the existence of transient forms of matter which had escaped recognition by other methods.
    Cecil Frank Powell
  • You are the descendant of a tiny cell of primordial protoplasm washed up on an empty beach three and a half billion years ago. You are the blind and arbitrary product of time, chance, and natural forces. You are a mere grab-bag of atomic particles, a conglomeration of genetic substance. You exist on a tiny planet in a minute solar system in an empty corner of a universe. You are a purely biological entity, different only in degree but not in kind from a microbe, virus, or amoeba. You have no essence beyond your body, and at death you will cease to exist entirely. In short you come from nothing and are going to nowhere.
    Randy Alcorn
  • With the historicization of the heavens the age-old idea of discovering universal laws of behavior applicable everywhere and always seems to have lost plausibility, whether for sub-atomic particles or for human beings. ...all such patterns and regularities, it seems to me, should be understood to be limited, local, evanescent — including, now, even the laws of physics.
    William H. McNeill
