Do all the subatomic particles participate in chemical reactions?

Question

photon336 · Answer

think of it, chemical reactions happen in everyday life, and think of this: everything is made up of atoms and atoms are made of subatomic particles, the atoms re-arrange in chemical reactions, however electrons take art in chemical reactions, while neutrons and protons do not.

take a look at this below electrons are outside the nucleus, and within the nucleus you have protons and neutrons, those dont participate in chemical reactions, whereas the electrons do because they're out side of the nucleus and where reactions occur they involve movements of electrons

Well, only electrons participate in chemical reactions. The other subatomic particles play a larger role in nuclear chemistry.
