Are protons bigger than electrons

Answer 1

Yes, protons are larger than electrons.

Answer 2

Yes. Electrons are much smaller than protons, though both are very tiny sub-atomic particles. Electrons orbit around the nucleus of the atom because it is much smaller and lighter, while protons are found in the nucleus of the atom. In fact, the mass of a proton to an electron is in the ration 1836:1, so you can imagine how tiny the electrons are, relative to the proton.

Answer 3

In quantum physics, electrons are usually regarded as dimensionless points, or "having no spatial extent" and would thus be considered smaller that neutrons or protons. It should be noted that protons and neutrons are not fundamental particles and that they have an internal structure; in size they are about 0.8 femtometres radius with the proton slightly larger. It's also of note that the electron having zero radius creates mathematical and relativistic problems and inconsistencies and is an ongoing matter of research in modern physics; and that in classical theory, it is often cited as having a radius of about 2.8 femtometres which would have made it larger than the proton - but this view is not widely accepted.

Answer 4

Protons and neutrons are bigger than electrons.

Answer 5

Yes, protons are much larger than electrons. Protons have a mass that is about 1836 times greater than that of electrons and occupy a much larger volume.

Answer 6

Yes, protons are larger than electrons.

Answer 7

they are the same size
