its difficult to talk about size, when talking about such particles. Maybe someone will correct me, but my understanding is that electrons and protons have no size: we say they are point particles. They have a probability wave which shows where they are likely to appear, but I don't think they actually have a volume as, in the same way, a swimming pool or a car would have.
We can estimate the size of a nucleus, which consists of neutrons and protons, then divide that volume by the total number of nucleons, which would probably give a value of 10^-15m, but can you actually say that a free floating neutron has a volume? I don't know.
Electrons certainly dont. We say they are point charges.

∙ 9y agoNeutrons are subatomic particles that is one half of the nucleus of an atom. The mass of a neutron is measured to be 1 Atomic Mass unit, which is too small to see even with an electron microscope.

∙ 13y agoIf you try to think about it in perspective:
If the size of an atom is the size of a stadium, the neutron would be about the size of a football.
It takes about 100 000 nuclei lined up in a row to reach across an atom.
That is very small, since we can't even see atoms without machines and microscopes.

The neutral or no charge particle of an atomit is located in the nucleushas the same masss as the proton?
The neutron.
What particle in the nucleus of an atom has no charge?
you already partly answered your own question. Neutrons.
Which subatomic particle has no charge?
neutron
Can annihilation of matter occur between a positron and neutron?
No, a positron cannot react with a neutron in any kind of annihilation reaction. An electron and a positron can, and the same with a neutron and an anti-neutron, but it does not occur between a positron and a neutron.
What is the electrically neutral particle in the nucleus called?
Neutron is neutral Proton has a positive charge Electron has a negative charge
Are neutron Big?
Yes, a neutron is the largest and heaviest of all subatomic particles.
How big a neutron stars?
The diameter is about 20 or 30 km. About the size of a city.
Should you shave your head if you have a big forehead?
no... because u'll look like jimmy neutron.
If the nucleus is so big then how close is the nearest neutron?
Actually, the nucleus is incredibly small and the neutrons are contained there.
How big is the pulsar crab star?
The same size as a normal neutron star. See related question.
What are smaller stars about the same size of a big city?
Neutron stars, the dead remnants of massive stars.
What are the release dates for The Adventures of Jimmy Neutron Boy Genius - 2002 My Big Fat Spy Wedding 3-15?
The Adventures of Jimmy Neutron Boy Genius - 2002 My Big Fat Spy Wedding 3-15 was released on: USA: 27 July 2005
The neutral or no charge particle of an atomit is located in the nucleushas the same masss as the proton?
The neutron.
How long have Neutron stars been in the universe?
The first neutron stars likely formed some time in the first 600 million years after the Big Bang when large stars of the first or second generation died.
Why neutron is call neutron?
The neutron is called the neutron because it it electrically neutral, hence the neu- prefix
What happens when a star is too small to be a black hole but too big to be a neutron star?
There's no mass range that's between "collapses into a neutron star or pulsar" and "collapses into a black hole". It'll be one or the other.
Is a neutron positive charged?
No. A neutron carries no charge.
