What does the term "subatomic" mean?

• Larger than an atom

• The same size as an atom

• Smaller than an atom

• A type of radioactive material

The prefix "sub-" in subatomic indicates that these particles are:

• Above the atom

• Below or smaller than the atom

• The same as the atom

• Outside the atom

Subatomic particles are best described as:

• Particles larger than atoms

• Particles that make up atoms

• Particles that destroy atoms

• Particles that orbit atoms

When we say something is subatomic, we mean it is:

• Found only in the nucleus

• Smaller than an entire atom

• Radioactive

• Negatively charged
