No, an electron is significantly smaller than a proton, it is approximately 1/1836th the mass of a proton.
At a more advanced level, the space taken up by electrons in their shells take up a greater volume in space, but the size of the electron is much smaller than a proton.

Wiki User
∙ 9y agoYes, atoms are bigger than protons. Atoms are made up of protons, neutrons, and electrons. All of these subunits are what give atoms their charge.

Wiki User
∙ 15y agoAtoms are made of protons, neutrons and electrons (sub atomic particles). Therefore, a proton must be smaller than an atom.
Wiki User
∙ 15y agoProtons and Neutrons in the nucleus make up the majority of an atom's mass, even though the nucleus is less than 1 percent the size of an atom.

How big is a proton compared to an electron?
They have the same charge but its opposite: electron is 1.602x10^-19C with negative charge proton is 1.602x10^-19C with positive charge proton is over 1800 time bigger than electron
Which subatomic particle has a greater mass a proton or an electron?
Proton has a greater mass than the electron.
How many times lighter is an electron than a proton?
The mass of an electron is approximately 1⁄1836 of a proton. Thus as hydrogen is made of one proton and one electron, hydrogen is 1837 times heavier than an electron.
If a proton had a mass of 1 what is the mass of an electron and neutron relative to the mass of the proton?
If a proton would be 1, an electron would be 0.000544. An electron is 1,836 times lighter than a proton. A neutron would be 1.001 as a proton is 99.86% the mass of a neutron
How many times greater is the mass of a proton than the mass of an electron?
1836 times the mass of an electronSo how do you calculate '1836 times the mass of a proton' ?Mass of proton = 1.673 x 10-27 or (10 to the power of negative 27)Mass of electron = 9.109 x 10-31 or (10 to the power of negative 31)Simply by dividing the largest mass (of protons) by the smallest mass (electrons):(1.67262 . 10-27) / (9.10939 . 10-31) = [1.67262 /9.10939] . [10(-27)-(-31)] =0.1836 . 10+4 = 1836
How big is a electron compared to a proton?
A proton is bigger than electron
How big is a proton compared to a electron?
A proton is bigger than electron
Which has a greater mass an electron or a proton?
In kilograms, an electron's mass is ~9 x 10^(-31). A proton's mass is ~1.7 x 10^(-27). The mass of the proton is more than 1000 times of an electron.

Which has a bigger mass proton or electron?
A proton. A proton has a mass of 1 a.m.u. while an electron has a mass of 1/1840 a.m.u.
Is a proton bigger then a electron?
Yes much bigger! Electrons are so small.
Does a proton have a bigger charge than an electron?
No, the absolute charge of proton is equal to the absolute charge of electrons. however, their relative charge is opposite in sign.
Does an electron have a mass greater than a proton?
an electron has way less mass than a proton.
Is a proton larger or smaller than electron?
An electron is 1/1,836 of a proton.
Does an electron have more maas than a proton or neutron?
an electron is much lighter than a proton or neutron.
