For the atom the answer is true. Electrons are quite smaller than both neutrons and protons. How ever there are some sub atomic particles smaller. I think an example of one is a quark. You might want to google this question, reading about subatomic particles is relatively interesting. I hope this helps.

What changes occur in the nuclei of atoms involved in the reactions that fuel nuclear power plants?
Marina CMI [18]
Nuclear fusion and nuclear fission are two different types of energy-releasing reactions that occur in the nuclei of an atom.
Here are the major differences between the two:

1. To differentiate the two, fission is the splitting of an atom into two or more smaller atoms while fusion is the conjoining or fusion of two or smaller atoms into larger one.

2.  Fission does not normally occur in nature while fusion occurs mostly in heavenly bodies such as the stars.

3.Fission produces highly radioactive particles that can be hazardous to both the living things and its habitat or environment while fusion is "clean energy" and "environmental friendly" meaning there are fewer radioactive particles are produced. But if a fission "trigger" is being used, there will  be radioactive particles produced.

Among the two nuclear changes, fission is widely used because this reaction produces heat in nuclear reactor. This heat is used to generate steam which operates the turbines to eventually produce electricity.

Why increasing the temperature of a gas would increase the volume of its container in gas law?
Zarrin [17]

When the amount of gas in a container is increased, the volume increases. Lussac's law states that the pressure of a given amount of gas held at constant volume is directly proportional to the Kelvin temperature.

Why bleaching powder doesn't dissolve in water completely?​
Papessa [141]

Answer:

bleaching powder is actually a mixture of calcium chloride, calcium hydroxide and calcium hypochlorite. hence it is not a single salt. It is not completely soluble in water as it composed of heavy calcium salts, which are known to be insoluble in water.

What change in volume results if 60.0 mL of gas is cooled from 33.0 °C to 5.00°C?
Mariana [72]
The volume of the gas will be decreased. Answer lies on the understanding of kinetic energy of particles and how particles occupy certain amount of space.
