The atomic number correlates to the number of protons found in the nucleus of an atom. The atomic number also dictates the number of electrons that orbit the nucleus if the atom in neutral. Finally the Atomic Mass is the number of protons and neutrons found in the nucleus. The atomic number equals the number of protons (p+) or electron (e-).

Is the electron the largest of the three main atomic particles?

The electron is the smallest of the three main atomic particles by a long way. The proton and neutron are of a similar size, with the neutron having (very) slightly more mass. The mass of an electron is around 1/1840 of a proton or electron.

What heappens to an atom that experiences radioactive decay?

Electron capture is the absorption of an electron by an atomic nucleus if that nucleus is neutron poor. An electron is captured, usually from an inner electron shell of that atom, and it will convert a proton in the nucleus into a neutron. We know that a neutron is converted into a proton and an electron in neutron decay, so it might be looked at as something of an opposite nuclear reaction where a proton and an electron combine to form a neutron.
