Subatomic particles are smaller than atoms. Subatomic particles are found inside the nucleus of an atom and include protons, neutrons, quarks, and gluons. Protons carry a positive electrical charge while neutrons carry a neutral charge. Inside these protons and neutrons are quarks which are held together by gluons. (1 atom = 0.000000001 meters while 1 quark = 0.000000000000000001 meters) The smallest known particle, however, that has mass is the neutrino.

How many times smaller is the nucleus than the atom?
Well, honey, the nucleus is about 100,000 times smaller than the whole atom. It's like comparing a pea to a watermelon - one's a tiny powerhouse, and the other's just there for show. Just remember, size isn't everything, especially in the world of atoms.
Smallest particles that make up matter?
An Atom. It's the world's smallest particles of matter, atom's is known to be 20 times smaller than an average coffee bean.
What is smaller then an atom?
Electrons for one, and protons and neutrons are composed of quarks
Which land area is smaller Europe or Australia?
Australia is smaller; it is about 4/5 the size of Europe.
Is nano smaller than micro?
Subatomic particles are significantly smaller than nanoparticles; the latter is usually a couple hundred atoms across, the former is less than one whole atom.
What is the element size of bromine?
Its atom size is bigger than Chlorine but smaller than Iodine
Are cations bigger than anions in terms of size?
In general, cations are smaller than anions in terms of size.
Are prokaryotes smaller than eukaryotes in terms of size?
Yes, prokaryotes are generally smaller in size compared to eukaryotes.
Size of cation is smaller than its neutral atom?
Yes, the size of a cation is smaller than it's neutral atom. This is so because cations have a low number of shells and hence a high effective nuclear charge which causes them to be smaller in size then their neutral atoms.
What is the width of a silicon atom and how does it compare to other atoms in terms of size?
The width of a silicon atom is about 0.117 nanometers. In comparison to other atoms, silicon atoms are larger than hydrogen and helium atoms, but smaller than atoms like carbon and oxygen.
Why size of hydrogen ion is greater than its atom?
It is NOT greater. It is smaller. This is because the Hydrogen ion has lost its electron from the atom and is thus smaller. The hydrogen ion is a proton.
Is Sigapure is about a size of Delhi or gujarat?
I presume you mean Singapore. It is closer to the size of the state of Delhi, possibly smaller than Delhi in terms of area, much smaller in terms of population. :)
When was our Universe smaller than an atom?
The Universe was never smaller than an atom.
Are prokaryotes smaller than eukaryotes in terms of cellular size?
Yes, prokaryotes are generally smaller in size compared to eukaryotes at a cellular level.
How is the size of an anion different from the size of the atom from which it was formed?
Anion will have more electron than which atom it was form. So, after forming the the atom will have more electron cloud and size will be smaller compare to the original one.
How does the size of each compare with the size of the neutral atom form which it is formed?
A cation is smaller than the neutral atom because one electron is removed from the original atom to form it. An anion is larger than the neutral atom because one electron is added to the original atom to form it.
Is the size of a positive ion generally bigger or smaller than the size of the neutral form which it forms?
A positive ion is generally smaller in size than the neutral form from which it forms. This is because when an atom loses an electron to become a positive ion, the remaining electrons experience a stronger attraction to the nucleus, leading to a more compact arrangement.
