The electron is much smaller than the atom it orbits. The photon, with a wavelength shorter than X-Rays, are also smaller than atomic radii. In general, this scale is the realm of particle physics, classified as quarks, leptons and bosons. Quarks are what make up the center of atoms, like constituents of protons and neutrons. Leptons are much less massive particles which are exemplified by electrons and neutrinos. Bosons are particles which give rise to force from fields. Examples of bosons are photons (which are particles of light) and gluons (which keep quarks together in the nucleus).

What else can I help you with?
When was our Universe smaller than an atom?
The Universe was never smaller 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.
Does an atom of fluorine have larger or smaller radius than an atom of iodine?
Smaller
Which one smaller cell atom molecule?
An atom is smaller than a cell, and a molecule is smaller than both atoms and cells. Cells are composed of molecules, which in turn are made up of atoms.
Is nucleus smaller than atom?
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!!)
When was our Universe smaller than an atom?
The Universe was never smaller than an atom.
What can a star get smaller than?
it can get smaller than an atom
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.

Smaller
Is the atom that remains after the nucleus disintegrate larger of smaller than the original atom?
smaller
Is an atom smaller or larger than basketball?
Smaller
Which one smaller cell atom molecule?
An atom is smaller than a cell, and a molecule is smaller than both atoms and cells. Cells are composed of molecules, which in turn are made up of atoms.
What is smaller than a atom?
Neutrons, protons, and electrons make up an atom, so they are smaller.
Is a element smaller than an molecule?
The atom of an element is smaller than a molecule.
What is smaller than an atom and begins with the letter q?
A quark is a fundamental subatomic particle, or class of subatomic particles. It is smaller than an atom.
Is the proton smaller than an atom?
Of course it is smaller. It is a sub atomic particle
