Electrons are smaller in mass, but equal to protons in charge, although with the opposite charge, and bigger than neutrons in charge.
No, protons and neutrons are in the nucleus and the electrons orbit around the nucleus. This all happens inside the atom.
Neutron is bigger than a quark. A neutron is a composite particle made up of three quarks, while a quark is a fundamental particle that makes up protons and neutrons.
The masses of protons and neutrons are on the order of 1x10-27 kg. The mass of an electron is on the order of 1x10-30 kg. So protons and neutrons, the particles found in a nucleus, weigh around 1000 times as much as the electrons outside the nucleus. So take helium-4 for example: 2 protons, 2 neutrons, and 2 electrons. Its nucleus is around 2000 times more massive than its two electrons. The term "concentrated" is also worth noting. Atoms are much, much, much bigger than their nuclei. A good analogy I often use for this is that if you put a penny in the middle of Giant's stadium, the atom would be the size of the stadium and the penny would be the size of a nucleus. A more specific example would be that the nucleus of a carbon atom has a radius of around 2x10-15 m, and the radius of a carbon atom is around 8x10-11 m. So the nucleus is 40,000 times smaller than the atom.
Protons minus neutrons doesn't mean anything in chemistry. Protons plus neutrons gives the mass number. Protons minus electrons gives you the charge of an atom(ion). The number of protons are equal to the number of electrons in a neutral atom and the proton number is equivalent to the atomic number.
Neutrons contribute to binding energy or nuclear glue in the nucleus that hold it together. Without neutrons, no binding energy. With no binding energy there will be no atoms bigger than hydrogen. See how it works? It's really that simple. The protons in the nucleus are positively charged. Like charges don't like each other and repel. That's basic electrostatics. But if we crush two or more protons together in the presence of a sufficient number of neutrons, all will bind together in a fusion reaction. The reaction will see all protons and neutrons involved undergoing what is called mass defecit. That's where all the would-be partners in the new nucleus shed a bit of mass that is converted into the binding energy or nuclear glue that holds the nucleus together. That's the long and short of it. A link is provided below.
No they're smaller than protons and electrons
All If "bigger" refers to mass, then all protons or neutrons are bigger than electrons, regardless of the element.
Electrons are 1,836 times lighter than protons. A proton is 99.8% the mass of a neutron
Yes, neutrons are larger than protons.
Protons are positively charged and neutrons are neutral.
atoms
An oxygen atom has 8 of each neutrons, electrons, and protons. While a carbon atom has only 6 of each. I had the same problem! So i hope this helped :)
Neutrons are slightly bigger than protons, and have a neutral (or no) charge while protons have a positive charge.
False. Neutrons are subatomic particles found within an atom along with protons, and are roughly the same size as protons. Atoms are made up of a nucleus containing protons and neutrons, surrounded by electrons.
Protons and neutrons are the same size relatively, and are bigger than alpha particles and electrons; but, electrons are smaller than alpha particles.
Atomic number = number of protons or electrons (in a neutral atom) Mass number: sum of protons and neutrons The mass number is bigger.
Atomic no.=no. of protons Atomic Mass=no. of protons+no. of neutrons Hence, atomic mass is greater
