__**The smallest subatomic particle known**__ I've found that the smallest subatomic particle is the Quark. The Quark is what makes up Neutrons and Protons (not electrons because they are another kind of particle). Neutrons and Protons are made up of 3 quarks. There are 6 kinds of Quark : -Up (+) -Down (-) -Charm (-) -Strange (+) -Top (-) -Bottom (+)

(*)=electrical charge

The strange, charm and bottom variety were desintegrated as soon big bang happened because of it unstability, but with modern technologies they have been simulated and studied. In this table you can see the mass and the symbol of each and every quark discovered until now
 * ~ Name ||~ Symbol ||~  ||~   ||~   ||~   ||~ [|Mass] ||
 * up || u ||  ||   ||   ||   || 1.5 – 4.0 ||
 * down || d ||  ||   ||   ||   || 4 – 8 ||
 * strange || s ||  ||   ||   ||   || 80 – 130 ||
 * charm || c ||  ||   ||   ||   || 1150 – 1350 ||
 * bottom || b ||  ||   ||   ||   || 4100 – 4400 ||
 * top || t ||  ||   ||   ||   || 170900 ± 1800 ||

It's believed that quarks could be made up of another particles but this theory still being researched and until now those havent been discovered.
