Answer 3

what discovery showed that atoms are not the smallest particles?

Answer 4

Angie, yes, summer and winter are "reversed" in Antarctica.


Gabriel, you should post your own question instead of piggy backing on someone else's. And atoms are not the smallest particles: atoms consist of subatomic particles called protons, neutrons, and electrons, and the first two of those are composed of even smaller particles called quarks. Are you sure your question is quoted exactly as in the original?

Answer 5
