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.

A particle smaller than atom is a subatomic particle, protons , neutrons, and , electrons, the smallest one is an electron, smaller than that are point particles and elementary particles, one elementary particle and point particle is a quark, up quarks down quarks the smallest single thing found so far is a GLUON, which is the force which binds/holds quarks together. Where the devil lives in anti matter there are also atoms and subatomic particles and point particles but just anti, anti- GLUON, anti-QUARK, anti-ATOM, anti-SUBATOMIC PARTICLE. There is something called the string theory, and super string theory that theorizes about bosonic/boson strings but it can not be provine yet, and I think a gluon is still alot smaller than a bosonic/boson string if they are true.

A molecule is definitely bigger than a proton. A proton is found in the nucleus of an atom, and two or more atoms make up a molecule. The proton is smaller than the molecule.

Is an electron bigger than a proton?

No, an electron is significantly smaller than a proton, it is approximately 1/1836th the mass of a proton. At a more advanced level, the space taken up by electrons in their shells take up a greater volume in space, but the size of the electron is much smaller than a proton.
