Neutrons have greater mass. A neutron rest mass is 1838 electron volts. A proton rest mass is 1835 electron volts.
In terms of physical size, this question may not be meaningful. Protons and neutrons are comprised of three quarks each, and their masses apparently are not conserved.
What else can I help you with?
Do neutrons carry no charge?
Correct. Protons are positive, electrons are negstive, and neutrons have no charge
What paritcles are found in the nucleus of an atom?
Protons and neutrons are the particles found in the nucleus of an atom. Protons have a positive charge, neutrons have no charge, and both are much heavier than electrons.
What is the term for the situation when an atom has more neutrons than protons?
The term for the situation when an atom has more neutrons than protons is called neutron excess or neutron-rich.
The stronger force between protons and neutrons in a small nucleus and a larger nucleus?
In a small nucleus, such as oxygen, xenon, or any of the lighter elements, the strong force generated by the protons and neutrons is stronger than the repulsion between protons, and the nucleus holds together. In a larger nucleus, such as uranium, curium, or the heavier elements, the strong force isn't strong enough to hold it together, and the electromagnetic force pulls it to pieces.
What has the smaller mass protons electrons or nutrons?
Electrons have the smallest mass compared to protons and neutrons. The mass of a proton is approximately 1836 times greater than the mass of an electron, and the mass of a neutron is slightly greater than that of a proton.
Are electrons larger than neutrons and protons?
no. protons and neutrons are MUCH larger than electrons.
Are protons bigger than neutrons?
Yes, neutrons are larger than protons.
How many protons and neutrons are bigger than electrons in sodium?
All If "bigger" refers to mass, then all protons or neutrons are bigger than electrons, regardless of the element.
Do neutrons carry no charge?
Correct. Protons are positive, electrons are negstive, and neutrons have no charge
Are electrons protons or neutrons the smallest particles if not what arew?
protons/neutrons are made of quarks which are smaller than electrons. electrons are smaller than protons and neutrons.
How are neutrons and protons different?
Protons are positively charged and neutrons are neutral.
Heavier nuclei have more neutrons than protons?
Yes, heavier nuclei tend to have more neutrons than protons. This is because the strong nuclear force, which holds the nucleus together, helps balance the electrostatic repulsion between positively charged protons. Having more neutrons helps stabilize the nucleus by increasing this attractive force.
What Make up 50 percent of the atomic mass of the nucleus?
Well, this is not exact, but smaller atoms have about the same number (and mass) of neutrons and of protons. Heavier atoms have a larger percentage of their mass in neutrons.Well, this is not exact, but smaller atoms have about the same number (and mass) of neutrons and of protons.

Are electrons bigger than neutrons and protons?
Electrons are 1,836 times lighter than protons. A proton is 99.8% the mass of a neutron
What is the relative size of the 3 subatomic particles?
Protons and neutrons are about the same size and are larger than electrons. Protons and neutrons have a size of about 1 femtometer (10^-15 meters), while electrons are about 1000 times smaller.
How are protons neutrons and electrons different from one another?
Protons and neutrons, firstly, are much larger than electrons. They are packed tightly together in the center of the atom, while electrons flow freely in all directions around them. Also, protons are positively charged, electrons are negatively charged, and neutrons have no charge at all.
An atom that has more neutrons than protons is called what?
An atom that has more neutrons than protons is called an Isotope.
