Yes, they are. Both protons and neutrons are located in the nucleus of an atom but not electrons. They are lighter so they can be loosed or gained by an atom.

What does 'neutron' mean?

A neutron is a part of the atom that has a Neutral charge so to say. The atom is composed of an electron, proton, and neutron. Electrons have the negative charge, Protons have a positive, and neutron has no charge. Remember it as in "Neutron is neutral" or "neutron is no". A free neutron (outside of an atom that is) has a half-life of less than 15 minutes.

Is a neutron smaller than an atom?

Yes, a neutron is smaller than an atom. Neutrons are subatomic particles found within the nucleus of an atom, along with protons, and are about the same size as protons. Atoms consist of a nucleus made up of protons and neutrons, surrounded by electrons in orbit.
