it depends wheather the atom is a eukaryotic or prokaryotic cell. Both have different sizes
No. It is the only way to measure an atom because the orbital is the outer part of the atom and determines its size.
It’s the most massive part of the atom
The atom that is smallest in size is the hydrogen atom.
By the size of the atom and its mass
An atom is the size of an orange compared to the Earth.
The size of a silicon atom is about 0.11 nanometers.
The nucleus. The nucleus contains both of the protons and neutrons of an atom, and make up more than 99% of the atoms matter and weight. If size is talking about measurements of width and space taken up, the outer ring of the atom, the electrons, span out away from the nucleus, orbiting it in an elliptical shape. The electrons of an atom are not physically attached to the atom, and can be arguably not part of the specific atom because the electrons can become intertwined with other atoms' electrons.
The size of an atom is bigger than the nucleus because an atom consists of a nucleus surrounded by electron clouds. The electrons are located further away from the nucleus, leading to the overall larger size of the atom.
no an atom is a part of a molecule.

The atom itself would be the size of an NFL stadium.
The physical size of an atom is largely determined by the size of the electron cloud.
