Electrons do not fit inside a proton or neutron. Electrons move around the nucleus where the protons and electrons are, and the mount of electrons depends on the atom. For a neutral atom the number of electrons = the number of protons. If that does not hold true the atom will receive a (+) or (-) charge. It will be a (+) if it is missing one electron and a (-) if it has an extra electron.
To the guy who wrote that, the question was asking (in size) how many electrons could fit inside a proton relative to its size. The answer is about 1/1836 electrons could fit inside a proton.

∙ 12y agoElectrons are negative particles, protons are positive particles. They are completely different particles, and are the major components of an atom. An electron is not a smaller unit of a proton. It is physically impossible for them to occupy the same space.

Spin, the same.
Mass, it would take 1836 electrons to equal one proton.

How many electrons in an element with one proton?
The number of PROTONs and the number of ELECTRONs are always equal in a neutral atom. Therefore an element with one PROTON will have one ELECTRON and that element will be called Hydrogen.
How many electrons are there in a neutral atom?
One electron. This balances out hydrogen's one proton.
How many protons electrons neutrons does hydrogen have?
Normal Hydrogen has one proton. The isotope of Hydrogen called Deuterium has one proton and one neutron. The Isotope of hydrogen called Tritium has one proton and two neutrons. All isotopes of hydrogen have one electron.
What common ion has zero electrons?
A hydrogen ion, often called a proton, because that's all it is - one proton in the nucleus and no electrons. Tiny, but powerful!
How many protons are in Hydrogen-1?
One. Charge doesn't change the number of protons because charge results for a loss or gain of electrons. If it had more than one proton, it would be some kind of Helium instead of being a hygroden.
How many electrons are in a positively charged hydrogen atom?
None. A hydrogen atom has one proton and one electron (no neutron). Removing the electron leads to just a proton, no electrons.
How many electrons in an element with one proton?
The number of PROTONs and the number of ELECTRONs are always equal in a neutral atom. Therefore an element with one PROTON will have one ELECTRON and that element will be called Hydrogen.
How many electrons are there in a neutral atom?
One electron. This balances out hydrogen's one proton.
How many electrons are attracted by a proton?
There is no specific number of electrons that a proton can attract. For example, in a neutral atom; a proton attracts nearly one electron and there is a higher attraction in anions and lesser number in cations.
How many electrons protons and nuetrons are in hydrogen?
One Proton One electron zero neutrons
How many electrons does it take to equal to the mass of one proton?
electrons are a 2000th of the mass of a proton/neutron. Because of this very low mass, electrons dont affect the mass number of elements on the periodic table
How many proton and electrons does a carbon have?
6
How many electrons and protons does an ion have?
There are many different types of ions, having many different quantities of electrons and protons. The H+ ion has one proton and no electrons. That's the simplest.
How many proton and electrons does Lithium ion have?
3 protons and 2 electrons.
How many protons and electrons does sugar have?
1,000,002 proton/electrons 738 neutrons
How many electrons equal the mass of one Proton?
1836 electrons equal the mass of 1 proton. A proton has a mass of 1.0073 amu, a neutron 1.0087 amu, and an electron 5.486 x 10-4. So, it would take 1836 electrons to equal the mass of 1 proton.
How many protons neutrons and electrons has?
Hydrogen is a nonmetal gas. An atom has 1 proton and one electron.
