OCR: SUBATOMIC PARTICLE A SUBATOMIC PARTICLE is a particle that is smaller in size than an atom. The particle may be one of the elementary particles - the basic units of matter - such as a photon, an electron, or a quark, or else a composite particle such as a proton or neutron. Scientists have discovered several hundred different types of subatomic particles.
