Why are heavy atoms are not appreciably larger than the hydrogen atom?
My theory to why heavy atoms are not appreciably larger than the hydrogen atom is supposedly because that gases can expand and so that hydrogen is a gas, it is larger though if hydrogen were compressed, it should grow appreciably smaller than heavy atoms. Also to make that test fair you would have to make the heavy atom at its gas state so that then you could see the true, fair differ in size between a hydrogen and heavy atom.
Is a neutron smaller than an atom?
An atom is larger than a neutron; a neutron is a part of any atom except a hydrogen atom.
What is smaller an atom or an element?
Cannot answer your question in a meaningful way as there is no comparison. An element is composed of atoms that are all of the same element. While one atom of an element is that element, it does not have the bulk properties we associate with the element in everyday life, due to quantum effects. Your question could be analogous to "Which is smaller a golf ball or a pile of one or more golf balls?" But I can't account for the quantum effects in this analogy. Also atoms of different elements are different sizes: an atom of the element hydrogen is much smaller than an atom of the element gold. However one mole of atoms of the element hydrogen at standard temperature & pressure is much larger than one mole of atoms of the element gold at standard temperature & pressure, because hydrogen is a gas and gold is a solid.
A larger oxygen atom shares electrons with smaller hydrogen atoms what kind of molecule does this form?
nopolar
Is a molecule of oxygen larger than a molecule of hydrogen?
A single oxygen atom is smaller than a molecule.
Which is larger a hydrogen atom or francium atom?
The francium atom is larger.
Which is larger a hydrogen atom francium or atom and how can you tell?

Is hydrogen and gold a atom?
yes
Which is larger a hydrogen H atom or a francium Fr atom?
Francium atom. (periodic trends)
Which is larger a living cell or an atom of hydrogen?
cell
How many times larger is the hydrogen atom than the oxygen atom in a polysaccharides?
2 times

How many electrons are hee in an atom?
The will depend on the type of atom. The number is different for an atom of hydrogen, lead, gold, fluorine, etc.
Can hydrogen atoms have more than one proton?
No. Elements are given their names (like "Hydrogen" or "Gold") solely on their number of protons. If a Hydrogen atom had any other number of protons than one, it would not be a Hydrogen atom.
