its difficult to talk about size, when talking about such particles. Maybe someone will correct me, but my understanding is that electrons and protons have no size: we say they are point particles. They have a probability wave which shows where they are likely to appear, but I don't think they actually have a volume as, in the same way, a swimming pool or a car would have.
We can estimate the size of a nucleus, which consists of neutrons and protons, then divide that volume by the total number of nucleons, which would probably give a value of 10^-15m, but can you actually say that a free floating neutron has a volume? I don't know.
Electrons certainly dont. We say they are point charges.
neutron star
The Electron is by far the smallest of the three. Protons are the same size and mass of the Neutron, and they are more than 1,800 times the mass of the electron.If you don't understand that, here's some form of a table of the masses of the 3 particles:Electron: 1/1800 Neutron = 1/1800 ProtonNeutron: 1800 Electrons = 1 ProtonProton: 1800 Electrons = 1 Neutron
The neutron is a part of the atom, therefore it is smaller.
electron and neutrino are formed by the decay of neutron.
Ernest Rutherford described the existence of the neutron.
neutron star
Neutron degeneracy pressure, in which the neutrons themselves prevents further collapse.
Neutron stars range in size from 20 to 40 kilometers (12 to24 miles) in diameter.
No, They are nearly exactly identical in size.
about 1/3 of a neutron star
prove that size of an atom is 10,0000 times the size of neuclous
electron is the smallest
Yes, a neutron star is much more massive and denser than a planet. Neutron stars are formed from the remnants of massive stars and are typically only a few kilometers in diameter, while planets can be thousands of kilometers in size.
The electron is the smallest having about 1/1836th the mass of a proton or neutron, which means that basically an electron has no mass. The neutron and proton weigh the same both having a mass of 1.
A neutron star is smaller, but has a greater mass. A typical white dwarf is about the size of a terrestrial planet. A typical neutron star is a few miles across.
The dimensions of a proton is approximately similar to that of a neutron.
The diameter is about 20 or 30 km. About the size of a city.
