Explain why the atoms neutron nucleus atom molecule and the head of a pin is smallest to largest?

The order from smallest to largest is: atom, neutron, nucleus, molecule, head of a pin. Atoms are the smallest unit of matter, composed of a nucleus (protons and neutrons) surrounded by electrons. Neutrons are subatomic particles found within the nucleus of an atom. Nucleus is the central part of an atom containing protons and neutrons. Molecules are formed when atoms chemically bond together. The head of a pin is significantly larger compared to molecules.
