Protons have a larger mass, but it is unclear which (if either) have a larger radius. The electron does not seem to have ANY measurable radius.

Is a proton larger or smaller than electron?

An electron is 1/1,836 of a proton.


Which has a greater mass an electron or a proton?

In kilograms, an electron's mass is ~9 x 10^(-31). A proton's mass is ~1.7 x 10^(-27). The mass of the proton is more than 1000 times of an electron.


Is a proton larger than a neutron which is larger that an electron?

Yes it is.

yes much smaller


Is proton smaller than electron?

Electrons are smallest


How many times is the electron larger than an proton?

I believe it is reversed with a electron being smaller its mass is 1/1840 or 0.05% of a proton's. In fact the mass is so small we ignore it in calculation in stiochiometry. See here: http://www.physicsforums.com/archive/index.php/t-72615.html


Which element is almost 2000 times smaller than a proton?

You mean; " which sub atomic particle is almost 2000 times smaller than a proton? "An electron=========


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.


Is the proton smaller than the electron?

Actually every proton has different size in different nucleus. But in general, Proton, 1x10-15 m or "a diameter of approximately one-millionth of a nanometer". The electron, the diameter is less than 1x10-18 m. Likewise, The diameter of an electron is less than 1/1000 the diameter of a proton.


In the electron charge to mass experiment if the electron is replaced by a proton or neutron would the charge to mass ratio value still be the same why or why not?

Compared to the (charge/mass) ratio of the electron:-- The (charge/mass) ratio of the proton is much smaller; although the proton charge is equal to the electron charge, the proton mass is much larger, by a factor of more than 1,800.-- The (charge/mass) ratio of the neutron is zero, because the neutron charge is zero.


Which particle will have the same mass proton and electron proton and neutron electron and neutron or all three particles?

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.


How does the mass of an electron compare to the mass of a proton and neutron?

The proton mass is about 2,000 times greater than the electron mass.
