In order from heaviest to lightest: Higgs Boson, Top Quark, Z0, W+,-, Bottom quark, and Tau lepton. All others are less than 1.7 GeV and are not worth mentioning, are composite particles made up of quarks and too numerous to mention, or are predicted to exist if certain models are correct but have not been (and probably cannot be) observed.

The neutron has slightly more mass than a proton. Both are usually rounded off to a mass of 1 amu but the neutron is just a little heavier (about 1/1800 th heavier)

What are the parts of an atom from largest to smallest?

An atom consists of three basic components: electrons, protons and neutrons. The three particles are listed in order of least massive to most massive. A neutron is slightly more massive than a proton, and these two particles make up the nucleus of an atom. Electrons are the smallest particles found in an atom, and an electron is less than 1/1800th the mass of a proton. They are so small that their mass is not even taken into consideration when calculating the mass number (protons plus neutrons) of an atom, even in larger atoms with large numbers of electrons.
