No, protons and neutrons are in the nucleus and the electrons orbit around the nucleus. This all happens inside the atom.

Is an electron bigger or smaller than a neutron?

Smaller than a neutron


Is the mass of an electrons is larger than the mass of an neutron s?

No, an electron is MUCH smaller than a neutron. About 1/1836 or something like that. Just Google "mass of an electron".


Which has the smaller mass a particle an electron a neutron or a proton?

Electron!


Which particle will have the same mass proton and electron proton and neutron electron and neutron or all three particles?

The masses of all three particles are different The masses of a proton and the mass of a neutron are very close, however. The mass of an electron is much smaller than the mass of a proton or neutron.


What is smaller protron neutron or electron?

the electron is the smallest in terms of mass. 9.11E-31kg/electron 1.67E-27kg/neutron 1.67E-27kg/proton


Does an electron have more maas than a proton or neutron?

an electron is much lighter than a proton or neutron.


What is smaller then an atom?

Electrons for one, and protons and neutrons are composed of quarks


How does the mass of an electron compare to that of a neutron?

The nucleus is far more massive than the electron cloud. The mass of the electron cloud is almost negligible compared to that of the nucleus.


How does the electrons differ from the atomic particles?

It really depends what particle you are comparing it to. Compared with the neutron and proton: The electron has a much smaller mass - roughly 2000 times smaller than the neutron or proton. As far as we know, the electron is a truly elementary particle. Protons and neutrons are made up of smaller particles (the quarks). The electron has a negative charge, the proton a positive charge, and the neutron is electrically neutral.


How does the mass of an electron compare to the mass of a proton and neutron?

The proton mass is about 2,000 times greater than the electron mass.


Which subatomic particle is nearly equal to the masses of the other two subatomic particles added together?

The neutron has a mass that is nearly equal to the combined mass of a proton and an electron. This is due to the fact that the neutron is slightly heavier than the proton, while the electron has a much smaller mass.


How many particles are in a proton neutron and electron?

A proton and neutron are both composed of three quarks. An electron is a fundamental particle and is not composed of smaller particles.
