Of what three particles is all matter composed?

Answer 1

Do you mean #"of what three particles is matter composed?"#

To the question posed, the response is...

#"protons, neutrons, and electrons."#

Electrons are negatively charged particles of negligible mass, that are conceived to orbit around a nuclear core containing massive particles of protons, particles of positive electronic charge, and neutrons, particles of NEUTRAL electronic charge. At internuclear distances, #<(2-4)xx10^-15*m# (impossibly small!), these massive particles engage in the strong nuclear force, which binds the nucleus together.

When evaluating a one-sided limit, you need to be careful when a quantity is approaching zero since its sign is different depending on which way it is approaching zero from. Let us look at some examples.
