Subatomic particles are smaller than atoms. Subatomic particles are found inside the nucleus of an atom and include protons, neutrons, quarks, and gluons. Protons carry a positive electrical charge while neutrons carry a neutral charge. Inside these protons and neutrons are quarks which are held together by gluons. (1 atom = 0.000000001 meters while 1 quark = 0.000000000000000001 meters) The smallest known particle, however, that has mass is the neutrino.

How many times smaller is the nucleus than the atom?
The atom has roughly 1E15 times the volume of its nucleus.
Smallest particles that make up matter?
An Atom. It's the world's smallest particles of matter, atom's is known to be 20 times smaller than an average coffee bean.
What is smaller then an atom?
Electrons for one, and protons and neutrons are composed of quarks
Which land area is smaller Europe or Australia?
Australia is smaller; it is about 4/5 the size of Europe.
Is nano smaller than micro?
Subatomic particles are significantly smaller than nanoparticles; the latter is usually a couple hundred atoms across, the former is less than one whole atom.
What is the element size of bromine?
Its atom size is bigger than Chlorine but smaller than Iodine
Size of cation is smaller than its neutral atom?
Yes, the size of a cation is smaller than it's neutral atom. This is so because cations have a low number of shells and hence a high effective nuclear charge which causes them to be smaller in size then their neutral atoms.
Is the size of a positive ion generally bigger or smaller than the size of the neutral form which it forms?
We are working on this in Physical Science class. A negative ion is larger then its parent atom. A positive ion is smaller then its parent atom. =]
Is it possible to see an atom using visible light?
No, it is not possible because the size of an atom is smaller than the wavelength of light.
Why size of hydrogen ion is greater than its atom?
It is NOT greater. It is smaller. This is because the Hydrogen ion has lost its electron from the atom and is thus smaller. The hydrogen ion is a proton.
When was our Universe smaller than an atom?
The Universe was never smaller than an atom.
Is Sigapure is about a size of Delhi or gujarat?
I presume you mean Singapore. It is closer to the size of the state of Delhi, possibly smaller than Delhi in terms of area, much smaller in terms of population. :)
How is the size of an anion different from the size of the atom from which it was formed?
Anion will have more electron than which atom it was form. So, after forming the the atom will have more electron cloud and size will be smaller compare to the original one.
How does the size of each compare with the size of the neutral atom form which it is formed?
A cation is smaller than the neutral atom because one electron is removed from the original atom to form it. An anion is larger than the neutral atom because one electron is added to the original atom to form it.
Which particle is smaller a proton molecule atom or nucleus?
A proton is smaller than a nucleus, which is smaller than an atom, which is again smaller than a molecule.
What can a star get smaller than?
it can get smaller than an atom
Is an atom smaller than a compound?
An atom is smaller than a compound because if an electron fits in an atom, and an atom is a part of a compound, it means a compound is bigger than an atom
