in order of largest to smallest it is;
# neuron (cell in the brain) # molecule (made of multiple atoms)
# atom (made of protons, electrons, neutrons) # proton # neutron # electron

An element is larger in size than an atom, because an element is made up of multiple atoms. A compound is larger than an element because it consists of two or more different elements chemically bonded together. A neutron and proton are both subatomic particles found within the nucleus of an atom and are smaller in size compared to atoms, elements, and compounds. An electron is the smallest subatomic particle among these options.

An element theoretically can consist in nature as one atom. However, many elements in their pure form exist in nature as more than one atom. For example, pure Oxygen usually exists in nature as O2; pure Hydrogen usually exists as H2.
A compound is a substance which is made of two or more elements and can be separated into those elements by a chemical reaction.
So, bottom line, the things listed in the question in order of size from smallest to largest would be: electron, proton, neutron, atom, element, compound.

The emission of a Beta particle has the effect of?
The emission of a Beta particle has the effect of changing a neutron into a proton, while also releasing an electron and an antineutrino. This process occurs in radioactive decay and results in the nuclide transforming into a different element with a different atomic number.
Which is larger Ba or Ba2 plus?
Neither..they both have approximately the same weight as electrons are virtually weightless.bt the ba2 plus wud have to combine with another element for charge stability and the compound it forms shud be heavier than ba.
How does the mass of an electron compare to the mass of a proton and neutron?
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.
If the electron in a hydrogen atom were the size and weight of a golf ball what would be the size and weight of the proton and neutron and what would be the orbital diameters of the electron and neutr?
If the electron were the size and weight of a golf ball, the proton and neutron would be significantly larger and heavier. The proton and neutron are about 2000 times heavier than the electron. The orbital diameter of the electron in a hydrogen atom is typically on the scale of nanometers (10^-9 meters), while the orbital diameter of the neutrino is incredibly small, on the order of 10^-18 meters.
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?
No, the charge to mass ratio value would not be the same if the electron is replaced by a proton or neutron. Protons and neutrons have different charge and mass compared to electrons, so the ratio would vary. The charge to mass ratio is specific to each type of particle.
Is a proton larger than a neutron which is larger that an electron?
Yes it is.
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".
Two isotopes of hydrogen fuse to form a neutron plus the larger element?
Helium

Is a compound larger than an electron?
Any compound will have a much larger mass than an electron. The mass of an electron is around 1/2000th that of a proton or a neutron. Compounds are made up of multiple atoms, which in turn are made up of multiple protons and neutrons (except in the case of hydrogen), so there is a considerable mass difference. It's interesting to note, however, that most of an atom's volume is actually made up of the electron cloud, which is the area within which electrons move about the nucleus. The nucleus, made up of protons and neutrons, is tiny in volume by comparison, even though it contains nearly all an atom's mass.
Which element has a larger radius nickel or platinum?
Platinum; it has two more electron shells than nickel.
Which is bigger a neutron star or a white dwarf?
A white dwarf is much larger than a neutron star.
The emission of a Beta particle has the effect of?
The emission of a Beta particle has the effect of changing a neutron into a proton, while also releasing an electron and an antineutrino. This process occurs in radioactive decay and results in the nuclide transforming into a different element with a different atomic number.
Is a nebula larger than a neutron star?
Yes, a nebula is far larger than a neutron star. A neutron star is a few miles across. A nebula is light years across.
How many times larger can an electron microscope magnify more than a light microscope?
That's right, an electron microscope can produce more magnification than a compound light microscope.
Which is bigger a proton or neutron?
A neutron is slightly heavier than a proton. Both particles are found in the nucleus of an atom, but neutrons have just a slightly larger mass than protons.
Is a neutron smaller than an atom?
Yes, a neutron is smaller than an atom. Neutrons are subatomic particles found within the nucleus of an atom, along with protons, and are about the same size as protons. Atoms consist of a nucleus made up of protons and neutrons, surrounded by electrons in orbit.
