Quite a bit larger!
Electrons are of very small mass and protons, even if just one, plus neutrons are about are 8000 to 10,000 times as large/massive as an electron. These particles make up most of the atom.

Why The bigger the atom have low ionization energy?
it is bigger..so it has more electron in orbit than smaller atom...so it keep simple
Is a chlorine atom or chlorine ion bigger?
A sulfur atom is larger than an oxygen atom.
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.
What is the size of an atom versus an electron?
an atom is larger than an electron
What is the charge of an atom with one electron more than protons?
If the atom has more electrons than protons than the atom will be negative.
Is the electron cloud bigger than an atom?
Oh yes. Think of the atom as earth and an electron as the moon.
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
Why The bigger the atom have low ionization 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 a chlorine atom or chlorine ion bigger?
A sulfur atom is larger than an oxygen atom.
What is bigger a chlorine atom or a chlorine ion?
A chloride ion is slightly larger than a chlorine atom, because in an ion there is one more electron than proton, allowing the electron shells to expand slightly. In a chlorine atom, the number of electrons and protons is the same.
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.
What is the size of an atom versus an electron?
an atom is larger than an electron
Why is chloride ion bigger than chlorine atom?
A thorough explanation requires quantum calculations, but as an approximation: A chloride ion is bigger than a chlorine atom because the ion contains an additional electron, but the positive charge of the nucleus is not changed from that of the atom. As a result, the average electrostatic force between the nucleus and each electron is slighter weaker in the ion, so that its electrons equilibrate with a larger average distance from the nucleus than in the atom. (The external dimension of either an atom or an ion is determined by the size of its electron cloud since the nucleus is too far inside the electron cloud to affect external dimension.)
Is the lithium atom bigger than the Cesium atom?
Not at all; the cesium atom is far bigger than the lithium atom.
Is an electron bigger then an atom?
No. An electron as a particle is small however the probability cloud of an electron can be large- most of the volume of an atom consists of the electron cloud. In relation to this the nucleus, although it contains nearly all of the mass of the atom, is quite small.
Is an electron bigger than a proton?
No, an electron is significantly smaller than a proton, it is approximately 1/1836th the mass of a proton. At a more advanced level, the space taken up by electrons in their shells take up a greater volume in space, but the size of the electron is much smaller than a proton.
