No, protons and neutrons are in the nucleus and the electrons orbit around the nucleus. This all happens inside the atom.

∙ 11y agoNo. If it were bigger (more mass), then the nucleus would orbit the electron.

∙ 11y agoNeutrons 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.

How does the mass of an electron compare to that of a neutron?
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.
Is the electron or the neutron or the proton lighter?
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.
What particle is not located in the nucleus proton electron neutron quark?
The electron.
What is another word for particle?
There are several subatomic particles. In general the term refers to the three main parts of an atom - the proton, the neutron, and the electron. But the proton and neutron are made up of even smaller particles called quarks (there are 6 of those!) and then there are all sorts of gluons and mesons... but I think the basic answer is the one that you want. Stick with proton, electron, and neutron.
What is the charge on an electron in SI units?
A neutron has no charge (neutron-neutral). It is simply there for weight.
Is an electron bigger or smaller than a neutron?
Smaller than a neutron
Is the mass of an electrons is larger than the mass of an neutron s?
No, an electron is MUCH smaller than a neutron. About 1/1836 or something like that. Just Google "mass of an electron".
Which has the smaller mass a particle an electron a neutron or a proton?
Electron!
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.
What is smaller protron neutron or electron?
the electron is the smallest in terms of mass. 9.11E-31kg/electron 1.67E-27kg/neutron 1.67E-27kg/proton
Does an electron have more maas than a proton or neutron?
an electron is much lighter than a proton or neutron.
What is smaller then an atom?
Electrons for one, and protons and neutrons are composed of quarks
How does the electrons differ from the atomic particles?
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.
How does the mass of an electron compare to that of a neutron?
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.
Is a neutron bigger than a electron?
Yes. The electron is the smallest whole particle.
Why does the neutron have the most mass in an atom?
Yes, a neutron has more mass than a proton or electron.
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.
