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.

All the neutrons in all the elements have the same mass and dimensions. The neutron mass is 1, 674 927 29.10-27 kg.

Very small- only a few miles in diameter but ten times as dense as the sun.

Is a neutron star bigger than a planet?

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.


What is the size of electron proton and neutron?

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.
