no, they both have the same relative mass, this is why you add the number of protons and neutrons to get the mass number for the atom.

The neutron is very slightly more massive than proton, by about the mass of an electron.

What is smaller protons or atoms?

Protons are smaller than atoms; in fact, protons are located within atoms.


Is there anything smaller than an atom?

Atoms are considered the smallest unit of matter, made up of protons, neutrons, and electrons. Subatomic particles like quarks and leptons make up protons, neutrons, and electrons, but are not considered smaller than an atom.


What are the particles of subatomic particles?

Some examples of subatomic particles include protons, neutrons, and electrons. Protons and neutrons are found in the nucleus of an atom, while electrons orbit around the nucleus. There are also smaller particles, such as quarks and leptons, that make up protons, neutrons, and electrons.


Can atoms be broken down into smaller particles if Yes then what are the names of the particle?

Atoms consist of protons, neutrons, and electrons. Protons and neutrons, in turn, are made up of quarks.Atoms consist of protons, neutrons, and electrons. Protons and neutrons, in turn, are made up of quarks.Atoms consist of protons, neutrons, and electrons. Protons and neutrons, in turn, are made up of quarks.Atoms consist of protons, neutrons, and electrons. Protons and neutrons, in turn, are made up of quarks.


The sum of the protons and the neutrons indicates the .?

By the sum of protons and neutrons we obtain the mass number of the atom which is written at the top of the atom periodic number. We can also obtain the mass number by adding the atomic number and the number of neutrons because the atomic number and the number of protons are same. You know that scientists have discovered some particles which are smaller than protons and neutrons and these are known as quartz.

Are elections bigger or smaller then neutrons and protons?

Elections are much smaller than neutrons and protons. Neutrons and protons are subatomic particles found in the nucleus of an atom, while electrons orbit the nucleus in electron clouds. The electron is about 1/1836 times smaller in mass compared to a neutron or a proton.
