Molecules are made up by cells. As a result, cells are smaller than molecules. Atoms are even smaller than cells since they make them up.

Cells are composed of atoms and molecules. Atoms are the basic building blocks of matter, while cells are the basic structural and functional units of living organisms. Therefore, atoms are smaller than cells.

Atom, yes. Organelle, no. All sub-atomic particles. A molecule is vibrating spheroid whose physical boundaries are the byproduct of the ripples in space caused by the electron(s) orbiting the nucleus.
A number of other 'particles' are smaller, and get together make up molecules. These include electrons, protons (both 'ions' in astrophysics), neutrons, quarks, gluons, even 'photons, whether just quantised emissions propagated locally and blending back into waves, as consistent with more contemporary theory, or the 100 year old ballistic 'corpuscles' of light. There are many more, though ALL are only theoretical and are not necessarily spheroid. Other popular models are based on the vortex and toroid, and all have various forms of 'spin' (or oscillation). In general terms they are simply 'quantized' energy.

Which is bigger atom electron molecule or cell?
An electron is a part of a atom, and an atom is part of a molecule, molecules make up a cell. So a cell is biggest.
Is cation larger than its parent atom?
No. It is smaller.
Is a rubidium larger or smaller than a neutral atom?
A rubidium atom is larger than a neutral atom because, when it loses an electron to become an ion, it loses an electron from the outermost shell, increasing the effective nuclear charge which attracts the remaining electrons closer to the nucleus, reducing the size of the ion compared to the atom.
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 a positive ion smaller or larger than its parent atom?
A positive ion is typically smaller than its parent atom because it has lost one or more electrons, resulting in a decrease in electron-electron repulsions. This leads to a more compact arrangement of electrons and a smaller overall size of the ion compared to the neutral atom.
Which is smaller atom or cell?
An atom is several orders of magnitude smaller than a cell. Even the smallest of cells is composed of trillions of atoms.
Why is the nucleus not have electrons?
because the nucleus is not an atom; an atom is smaller than a cell
When was our Universe smaller than an atom?
The Universe was never smaller than an atom.
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
Does an atom of fluorine have larger or smaller radius than an atom of iodine?
Smaller
Which is bigger atom electron molecule or cell?
An electron is a part of a atom, and an atom is part of a molecule, molecules make up a cell. So a cell is biggest.
Is the atom that remains after the nucleus disintegrate larger of smaller than the original atom?
smaller
Is a rubidium larger or smaller than a neutral atom?
A rubidium atom is larger than a neutral atom because, when it loses an electron to become an ion, it loses an electron from the outermost shell, increasing the effective nuclear charge which attracts the remaining electrons closer to the nucleus, reducing the size of the ion compared to the atom.
Is an atom smaller or larger than basketball?
Smaller
An electron is much larger than an atom?
an electron is much much smaller than an atom. An electron is a portion of the nucleus in an atom.
