Strings are much, much, much, much smaller than atoms. Strings are expected to be on the order of the Planck length; about 10-35 m. Atoms, in contrast, are on the order of Angstroms, 10-10 m. If strings were expanded to the size of atoms, atoms on this new scale would be many times larger than the solar system.

Smaller particles than the atom?

A particle smaller than atom is a subatomic particle, protons , neutrons, and , electrons, the smallest one is an electron, smaller than that are point particles and elementary particles, one elementary particle and point particle is a quark, up quarks down quarks the smallest single thing found so far is a GLUON, which is the force which binds/holds quarks together. Where the devil lives in anti matter there are also atoms and subatomic particles and point particles but just anti, anti- GLUON, anti-QUARK, anti-ATOM, anti-SUBATOMIC PARTICLE. There is something called the string theory, and super string theory that theorizes about bosonic/boson strings but it can not be provine yet, and I think a gluon is still alot smaller than a bosonic/boson string if they are true.

Is a rubidium larger or smaller than a neutral atom?

A rubidium atom is larger than a neutral atom because, when it loses an electron to become an ion, it loses an electron from the outermost shell, increasing the effective nuclear charge which attracts the remaining electrons closer to the nucleus, reducing the size of the ion compared to the atom.


Is cation larger than its parent atom?

In general, a cation is smaller than its parent atom because it has lost one or more electrons, leading to a decrease in electron-electron repulsion and a smaller electron cloud.


Is a positive ion smaller or larger than its parent atom?

A positive ion is smaller than its parent atom because it has less electrons than its parent atom. The reduced number of electrons are then pulled more tightly to the positive nucleus because the number of protons remains the same, and these now exceed the electrons in number.

Is a string smaller than an atom?

In string theory a string is a one-dimensional object. It has length, but no width or height. It's hard to compare a one-dimensional object with a three-dimensional object like an atom in any meaningful way. About the best answer that can be given is that if it turns out that string theory or one of its variants is correct, atoms are composed of objects that are themselves made up of strings.

Is an atom smaller than a compound?

An atom is smaller than a compound because if an electron fits in an atom, and an atom is a part of a compound, it means a compound is bigger than an atom


Which particle is smaller a proton molecule atom or nucleus?

A proton is smaller than a molecule, which is a group of atoms bonded together. The nucleus is smaller than both a molecule and an atom, as it is the central part of an atom where most of its mass is concentrated.
