The whole idea of size is not really applicable the subatomic objects. Quantum particles don't have a definite position in space of even a definite mass this is a fundamental part of quantum mechanics. The velocity and momentum of a particle can only be known to a certain degree of accuracy related to Planck's constant. This is known as Heisenberg's uncertainty principle. What can be said is that the proton occupies the nucleus of the atom which as a diameter of approximately 10-14 M. It is 1836 times more massive than an electron and very slightly less massive than a neutron.

What is the size of a proton in a beryllium atom?
The same size as it is in a Helium atom
What is the size order for these scientific particles Proton Neutron Atom Electron Nucleus?
IIRC Atoms (contains Protons/Neutrons and electrons) Nucleus contains Protons and Nuetrons Proton atomic size 1 Nuetron atomic size 1 electron atomic size 1/1836 i.e the proton is 1836 bigger than the electron
Do protons and electrons have the same amount of electrical charge and have the same mass?
Each proton has a positive charge. Each electron has a negative charge. The 'size' of the charge on every proton and every electron is the same. Every proton has the mass of about 1,850 electrons.
What is a protons relative size?
About a hundred trillion atoms can fit in the period at the end of this sentence. A proton is smaller than that.
What is a positively charged subatomic paricle?
The proton is a positively charged subatomic particle
What is the size of a proton in scientific notation?
A proton is 2x10^-14m, or 0.00000000000002m
Dose the proton have an impact on the size of the atom?
The proton CHARGE has an impact (if the proton's charge were different, the atom's size would be different). However, the proton SIZE is more or less irrelevant. The increase in size of the atom due to the proton is very very negligible. It has been proven that the density of the Nucleus is constant in all atoms of all elements. This means, the nucleus does increase in size, if there are more protons. However, The majority of the size of an atom comes from the electron orbits. Thus the main factor for atom size is electron orbits.
What is the size of a proton in a beryllium atom?

Is the neutron larger then a proton?
No, They are nearly exactly identical in size.
What is the size o a proton in inches?
how many 0 of a trillion
What is the size of protons in a uranium nucleus?
A proton has identical properties in all types of atoms; the mass of a proton is approx. 1 amu.
What pairs of particles have the same charges is it two protons a proton and an electron two electrons or a proton and a neutron?
Proton has 1 unit of positive charge.Electron has 1 unit of negative charge.NEUTRon has no charge. It's NEUTRal.Two protons: . . . . . . . . . . Two charges, same size, both positive.1 proton + 1 electron: . . . Two charges, same size, opposite signs.Two electrons: . . . . . . . . . Two charges, same size, both negative.1 proton + 1 NEUTRon : . . One positive charge, the other one NEUTRal.
What is the size of electron proton and neutron?
The electron is the smallest having about 1/1836th the mass of a proton or neutron, which means that basically an electron has no mass. The neutron and proton weigh the same both having a mass of 1.
What particles in the atom are similar in size?
The dimensions of a proton is approximately similar to that of a neutron.
What effect does an additional proton have on atomic size?
An additional proton, in the same period (row) makes the radius smaller and the nucleus bigger. It also changes the element.
