What is the atomic size of an atom?

it depends on the atom! For Hydrogen the atomic size could be described as '1' as it is the first atom and has 1 proton, 1 neutron and 1 electron. Then helium would be 2 and so on. Though we tend to use the size of the carbon atom to make relevent sizes to every other atom.

Where is the proton located in an atom?

In the nucleus of the atom, along with neutrons. The electrons are found around the nucleus. If the atom was the size of a Baseball stadium, the nucleus would be the size of a baseball! Most of the space in an atom is taken up by the electron cloud which surrounds the nucleus. That is why atoms are actually mostly empty space.
