INTERESTING FACT

What?

Hydrogen is made of one subatomic atom, a proton. That's all it is, and that's why its useful in things.

What this heck is this fact ON?

Actually, even a proton contains subatomic particles like gluons, leptons, etc.

There are other subatomic particles in atoms as well as just electrons protons and neutrons. For example 3 quarks make up a proton etc. There are also particles such as baryons, mesons, photons, neutrinos, bosons, leptons and hadrons

Hydrogen is 1 proton and 1 electron
electrons are composed to two elementary particles.
Protons are composed of 3 quarks,I believe top top bottom,but Im not sure.

Imagine an O, with a dot in it. Now, you see all that emptiness? That's what this is about. Somehow, electrons hover or orbit the nucleus, never touching it. That is why we really "never" touch eachother. Given the mass we can see, there is an empty mass we can't see. Like our solar system. If we combined all the planets, we still wouldn't be able to fill the emptiness of the solar system. We'd probably fall into a similar ratio, of 1% or something of the sort.

DB, if only it were that simple!!
Dorian, your closer... an electron however is actually a fundamental particle, it isnt made up of anything simpler, like its higher-energy equivelants the muon and the tau. It does have its corresponding neutrino if thats what you meant?
You're right with the proton being a baryon ie. made up of 3 quarks, and you're charges are right, but its up - up - down...

This is complete rubbish, i thought this was called interesting 'facts'. Where's this come from? Maybe because there's over 200 known subatomic particles? but that doesn't mean that they're all found in a single atom.

hello=]

The "blog" is not factual! What has happened to proving the veracity of any post???????

SUT UP

Not very scientific! "There are more than 200 subatomic particles because there is so much space"?1?1?1 What kind of drivel is this?

Not very scientific! Just because there is a lot of empty space in an atom that does not mean that there are lots of subatomic particles. If there were then htere would not be much empty space!

Atoms make up everything, they are the world!
