The whole idea of size is not really applicable the subatomic objects. Quantum particles don't have a definite position in space of even a definite mass this is a fundamental part of quantum mechanics. The velocity and momentum of a particle can only be known to a certain degree of accuracy related to Planck's constant. This is known as Heisenberg's uncertainty principle. What can be said is that the proton occupies the nucleus of the atom which as a diameter of approximately 10-14 M. It is 1836 times more massive than an electron and very slightly less massive than a neutron.

Dose the proton have an impact on the size of the atom?

The proton CHARGE has an impact (if the proton's charge were different, the atom's size would be different). However, the proton SIZE is more or less irrelevant. The increase in size of the atom due to the proton is very very negligible. It has been proven that the density of the Nucleus is constant in all atoms of all elements. This means, the nucleus does increase in size, if there are more protons. However, The majority of the size of an atom comes from the electron orbits. Thus the main factor for atom size is electron orbits.

How big is a proton compared to an electron?

A proton is about 1,836 times heavier than an electron. In terms of size, the proton is also larger than an electron. However, the exact size of both particles is extremely small, with the proton being about 100,000 times smaller than an atom.

The dimensions of a proton is approximately similar to that of a neutron.


What is the size of electron proton and neutron?

The electron is the smallest having about 1/1836th the mass of a proton or neutron, which means that basically an electron has no mass. The neutron and proton weigh the same both having a mass of 1.


What effect does an additional proton have on atomic size?

An additional proton, in the same period (row) makes the radius smaller and the nucleus bigger. It also changes the element.
