Yes, neutrons are bigger than quarks; it takes three quarks to make a neutron, and the whole is larger than the components. Based on the current understanding of the force between the quarks, we also have an idea of how far apart they are within the neutron.
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.
No, protons and neutrons are in the nucleus and the electrons orbit around the nucleus. This all happens inside the atom.
Yes, the down quark is slightly heavier than the up quark. However, the difference in mass between a neutron and a proton is not solely due to the difference between the down and up quarks. Other factors, such as binding energy and contributions from virtual particles, also play a role in the mass difference between the two particles.
Protons are made up of Subatomic Particles, in this case a Proton Atom is made up of two Up quarks, and one Down quark. The mass of an Up Quark is 2.4 MeV/c2 and the mass of a Down quark is 4.8 MeV/c2. Electrons are still in the Subatomic Particle Table, an Electron is a type of Lepton. An Electron's mass 0.511 MeV/c2 which is a lot less than a Proton, even less than a Up quark itself (the lightest quark). In most cases when talking about Atoms and their mass Electrons don't normally have an effect on their mass, only the Neutrons and Protons in the Atom. This should answer the Question.
A neutron has 3 valence quarks. An up quark, and two down quarks. An up quark has a charge of 2/3 and a down quark has a charge of -1/3.Since 2/3 - 1/3 - 1/3 = 0, neutrons have a neutral charge.Besides valence quarks, supposedly a hadron can contain an infinite sea of quarks that don't affect the properties of the hadron.
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.
Since neutrons are made up of three quarks, it's very safe to say the neutron is bigger.

Smaller than a neutron
Yes, the down quark is slightly heavier than the up quark. However, the difference in mass between a neutron and a proton is not solely due to the difference between the down and up quarks. Other factors, such as binding energy and contributions from virtual particles, also play a role in the mass difference between the two particles.
A proton can be divided into 2 Ups and a Down quark, and a neutron into 2 Downs and an Up quark. In general the quark is the elementary particle from which protons and neutron are formed.
A quark is the smallest known particle, which makes up protons and neutrons found in the nucleus of atoms. This means that quarks are smaller than protons, neutrons, atoms, and molecules.
The quark composition is different: - proton: 2 up quarks + 1 down quark - netron: 2 down quarks + 1 up quark The down quark is heavier.

The elementary particle for a neutron is called a quark. Neutrons are made up of three quarks: two Down quarks and one Up quark.
A quark star is a hypothetical star that forms when a star that is too big to form a neutron star but less than a black hole collapses the neutrons slightly into their component particles.
