No, protons and neutrons are in the nucleus and the electrons orbit around the nucleus. This all happens inside the atom.
Yes, an electron is smaller than a neutron. An electron is a fundamental particle and has a much smaller mass than a neutron, which is made up of quarks.
No. If it were bigger (more mass), then the nucleus would orbit the electron.
Neutrons are made of two quarks, so no, a quark is smaller than a neutron. An up and a down quark make up a neutron, I believe, and are of opposite charges while the neutron is neutral.
no because neutrons make up a nucleus
nope
yes
no
The nucleus is far more massive than the electron cloud. The mass of the electron cloud is almost negligible compared to that of the nucleus.
The neutron has a mass that is nearly equal to the combined mass of a proton and an electron. This is due to the fact that the neutron is slightly heavier than the proton, while the electron has a much smaller mass.
The electron, the neutron and the proton are the building blocks of the atom. And of the three, the electron is far and away the lightest. The neutron is slightly heavier than the proton, and either particle is over 1800 times more massive than our little electron.
Elections are much smaller than neutrons and protons. Neutrons and protons are subatomic particles found in the nucleus of an atom, while electrons orbit the nucleus in electron clouds. The electron is about 1/1836 times smaller in mass compared to a neutron or a proton.
The electron.
Smaller than a neutron
No, an electron is MUCH smaller than a neutron. About 1/1836 or something like that. Just Google "mass of an electron".
Electron!
The masses of all three particles are different The masses of a proton and the mass of a neutron are very close, however. The mass of an electron is much smaller than the mass of a proton or neutron.
the electron is the smallest in terms of mass. 9.11E-31kg/electron 1.67E-27kg/neutron 1.67E-27kg/proton
an electron is much lighter than a proton or neutron.
Electrons for one, and protons and neutrons are composed of quarks
It really depends what particle you are comparing it to. Compared with the neutron and proton: The electron has a much smaller mass - roughly 2000 times smaller than the neutron or proton. As far as we know, the electron is a truly elementary particle. Protons and neutrons are made up of smaller particles (the quarks). The electron has a negative charge, the proton a positive charge, and the neutron is electrically neutral.
The nucleus is far more massive than the electron cloud. The mass of the electron cloud is almost negligible compared to that of the nucleus.
Yes. The electron is the smallest whole particle.
Yes, a neutron has more mass than a proton or electron.
The mass of an electron is about 1/1836 times smaller than the mass of a proton or neutron. Protons and neutrons have similar masses, both being much larger than the electron.
