no, they both have the same relative mass, this is why you add the number of protons and neutrons to get the mass number for the atom.
The neutron is very slightly more massive than proton, by about the mass of an electron.

What is smaller protons or atoms?
Protons are smaller than atoms. Protons are subatomic particles that are found within the nucleus of an atom along with neutrons. Atoms are made up of protons, neutrons, and electrons.
Is there anything smaller than an atom?
Atoms are made of Protons, Neutrons and Electrons... so these are smaller than the atom :) - there are stuff smaller than the protons, neutrons and electrons too - just in case thatz your next question... Google.com is your best bet!
What are the particles of subatomic particles?
These particles are: proton, neutron, electron.
Can atoms be broken down into smaller particles if Yes then what are the names of the particle?
Atoms consist of protons, neutrons, and electrons. Protons and neutrons, in turn, are made up of quarks.Atoms consist of protons, neutrons, and electrons. Protons and neutrons, in turn, are made up of quarks.Atoms consist of protons, neutrons, and electrons. Protons and neutrons, in turn, are made up of quarks.Atoms consist of protons, neutrons, and electrons. Protons and neutrons, in turn, are made up of quarks.
The sum of the protons and the neutrons indicates the .?
By the sum of protons and neutrons we obtain the mass number of the atom which is written at the top of the atom periodic number. We can also obtain the mass number by adding the atomic number and the number of neutrons because the atomic number and the number of protons are same. You know that scientists have discovered some particles which are smaller than protons and neutrons and these are known as quartz.
Are electrons protons or neutrons the smallest particles if not what arew?
protons/neutrons are made of quarks which are smaller than electrons. electrons are smaller than protons and neutrons.
Are electrons bigger than protons neutrons?
No they're smaller than protons and electrons
What is smaller protons or atoms?
Protons are smaller than atoms. Protons are subatomic particles that are found within the nucleus of an atom along with neutrons. Atoms are made up of protons, neutrons, and electrons.
What has the smaller mass protons electrons or nutrons?
Electrons have a smaller mass than both protons and neutrons. Both protons and neutrons are over 1800 times as massive as electrons.
What are smaller than neutrons and protons?
I think it's croutons. . .
Are elections bigger or smaller then neutrons and protons?
Electrons are smaller in mass, but equal to protons in charge, although with the opposite charge, and bigger than neutrons in charge.
Are electrons bigger than neutrons and protons?
Electrons are 1,836 times lighter than protons. A proton is 99.8% the mass of a neutron
What is smaller than atom?
Subatomic particles, such as electrons, neutrons, and protons.
Why do smaller atoms have less neutrons than protons?
I don't see why not
What are smaller than protons neutrons and electrons?
I think it's croutons. . .
What is smaller than a atom?
Neutrons, protons, and electrons make up an atom, so they are smaller.
What is smaller then an atom?
Electrons for one, and protons and neutrons are composed of quarks
