Q. What subatomic particles have the smallest mass?

The majority of the mass of the atom is found in the nucleus, which is made up of protons and neutrons. The part of the atom with the smallest mass is the electron.

Q. What has the smallest total mass?

hydrogen atom

Q. Which particle has lightest mass?

Electron

Q. What particle has the least mass?

electron

Q. What’s smaller than a lepton?

In particle physics, preons are point particles, conceived of as sub-components of quarks and leptons. The word was coined by Jogesh Pati and Abdus Salam, in 1974.

Q. What is the lightest lepton?

b Neutrinos. The electron neutrino (νe) is the lightest lepton, and in fact the lightest fermion, making it an interesting particle for explaining DM.

Q. What is difference between lepton and baryons?

The simple answer is that baryons are particles composed of three quarks, whereas leptons contain no quarks at all. Baryons (e.g. protons, neutrons) are a sub-class of hadrons: hadron is from the Greek, meaning heavy or massive.

Q. Is a kaon a lepton?

The kaon as a particle that can decay into pions. Leptons: electron, muon, neutrino (electron and muon types only) and their antiparticles. Strange particles as particles that are produced through the strong interaction and decay through the weak interaction (eg kaons).

Q. Where is antimatter kept?

CERN

Q. Can u buy antimatter?

If you were hoping for, say, visible amounts of antimatter atoms, the answer is no, you cannot buy it. Even if they did sell it to you, it would cost millions per atom, and you couldn’t take it home. But individual particles are readily available at the grocery store.

Q. What would happen if you ate antimatter?

If you consumed a lot, chances are the antiparticles would combine with subatomic particles in your body and anhillate, releasing energy and destroying atoms. In short, you’d die. And if you were in possession of even more (for some reason), a lot of people would also probably die.

Q. What happens if you throw antimatter into a black hole?

When equal amounts of matter and antimatter collide, they are annihilated. The two would be annihilated and turn into pure energy. Of course, the gravity of a black hole is so immense that nothing, not even light can escape. So all energy would just be turned instantaneously into more black hole.

Q. What if antimatter fell into a black hole?

No. Antimatter has positive mass just like ordinary matter, so the black hole would merely get larger and heavier. Whatever fireworks happened inside the hole, if the anitmatter met up with ordinary matter there, would have no effect on the hole’s total matter-and-energy content or, therefore, its mass.
