    At the risk of being pedantic :laugh: what about sub-atomic particles? Logically atoms can't make them.

    How do you know so much about swallows? Well, you have to know these things when you're a king, you know.

      And what about the "empty" space between the sub-atomic particles? :rolleyes:

              You're making it up! Ipso facto, I rest my case.

                  And what about quarks[^] then? Neither atoms nor sub-atomic particles can make them. :laugh:

                        Well in a way, but that would be like saying sub-atomic particles are atoms or atoms are molecules, wouldn't it? :laugh:

                          "Particle" is a pretty generic term that describes a small amount of matter. A particle can describe sand, dust, atoms, protons, neutrons, quarks, electrons or anything that makes up something larger. :)

                            Didn't someone say "pedantic"? :laugh: In my defense, I would say when one says "sub-atomic", the idea generally converges to protons, electrons and neutrons. Of which, protons and neutrons are composed up of quarks. I was simply going after your post that atoms can't make up sub-atomic particles and simply meant quarks make up sub-atomic particles. :)
