Chromosomes are made of DNA coiled around protein histones. So no, chromosomes are not smaller, but they are more condensed then when the DNA is unwound in strand form.
They help fold and coil DNA to make it smaller.
An atom comprises an atomic nucleus with orbiting electrons. So the nucleus is smaller than an atom. To phrase it the opposite way, an atom is alwys larger than the nucleus (of the same atom of course!!)
A chromosome is made up of DNA, which has subunits called nucleotides.
Yes, the smallest human chromosome (chromosome 21) is approximately 10 times longer than many bacterial chromosomes. Human chromosomes are large linear structures made up of DNA and associated proteins, whereas bacterial chromosomes are typically smaller, circular DNA molecules.

Yes, although it has less DNA and is smaller than its partner the X chromosome

The DNA in each chromosome is longer than the diameter of an animal cell. Chromosomes are necessary to package and organize the long strands of DNA within the cell's nucleus. The DNA in a typical animal cell is tightly coiled and packaged to fit within the nucleus, which is much smaller than the length of the DNA in its extended form.

Chromosome is more complex than gene. Chromosomes contain multiple genes along with other regulatory elements, while genes are specific sequences of DNA that encode for proteins or RNA molecules. Chromosomes also play a role in organizing and packaging genes within the cell nucleus.

At the beginning of cell division, DNA and the proteins associated with the DNA coil into a structure called a chromosome. Chromosomes are visible under a microscope and contain the genetic material (DNA) of an organism.
this is incorrect question, because the size of the DNA is not specified. Without the DNA, it is chromosome > nucleosome > nucleotide. The actual DNA cannot be longer than a chromosome and nucleotide is a monomer of polymeric DNA, so DNA should be somewhere between chromosome and nucleotide.
