Supposedly one of the down quarks of the neutron becomes an up;

thus the neutron becomes a proton and an electron (and a neutrino) are emitted.

If a proton had a mass of 1 what is the mass of an electron and neutron relative to the mass of the proton?

If a proton would be 1, an electron would be 0.000544. An electron is 1,836 times lighter than a proton. A neutron would be 1.001 as a proton is 99.86% the mass of a neutron


What is the size of electron proton and neutron?

The electron is the smallest having about 1/1836th the mass of a proton or neutron, which means that basically an electron has no mass. The neutron and proton weigh the same both having a mass of 1.
