No they are not the same size. The size of atoms is one of the things that differentiate the basic elements. The number of neutrons and electrons affects the size. There are specific sizes depending upon the number of valiance shells that are occupied. So while weight may vary between certain elements, the area they occupy will be almost identical. There is a lot of difference in sizes. In general, if you look at the atomic weight you will see the size difference.
However, the size difference between different atoms are nowhere near the scale of the differences in weights and number of protons and neutrons. For example, an atom of plutonium is roughly 200 times as heavy as a hydrogen atom, but only about 3 times the size of a hydrogen atom.
Electrons are indistinguishable from one another (that would also apply to other elementary particles). That would include its size, whatever that means for the electron.
Yes, all electrons are considered to be point particles with no size or dimensions. They are considered to be fundamental particles with no known substructure.

What has the same number of electrons as sodium?
Potassium has the same number of electrons as sodium, with 11 electrons.
Elements in the same group have similar properties because they have the same?
the same number of electrons needed to fill their octet, the same number of valence electrons,
In lithium atoms would all atoms be identical in terms of electrons neutrons and protons?
All lithium atoms will have the same number of protons (3) but can have different numbers of neutrons, resulting in different isotopes of lithium. Electrons are the same for a neutral lithium atom (3 electrons), but ions of lithium can have a different number of electrons.
Why is an anion larger than its parent atom?
The size of an anion is larger than its parent atom because anions are formed due to the gain of electrons. When the electrons increase, there are still the same number of protons. The attractive force is thus reduced as there are the same number of protons attracting an increased number of electrons. This causes the electrons to not be bound as tightly to the nucleus resulting in an increase in size. In other words, anions have one or more extra electrons that contribute to the size of the atom. These extra electrons increase its size and make it larger than the neutral atom.
Elements that have the same number of valence electrons are?
Elements that have the same number of valence electrons are found in the same group of the periodic table. For example, all elements in Group 1 (e.g. H, Li, Na) have 1 valence electron, while elements in Group 18 (e.g. He, Ne, Ar) have 8 valence electrons. Valence electrons determine an element's chemical properties and reactivity.
Do thin wires have smaller electrons and large wires have larger sized electrons?
No. Electrons are all the same size
Are electrons and protons about the same size?
yes they are the same size.
Is it electrons and free electrons are the same?
Physically all the electrons are similar.
Are all the electrons always the same distance from the nucleus?
all electrons are alike
What have the same number of valence electrons?
All elements in the same group have the same number of valence electrons.
Are all the plates the same size?
No, all plates are not the same size
Do all atom have the same number of electrons or protons?
No, only atoms of the same element have the same number of protons and electrons.
What atom has the same number of protons and electrons?
Naturally, all elements have the same number of electrons and protons.
Are all electrons of all atoms the same?
Of corse,all electrons are identical all protons and neutrons are also identical
What does the group of A elements tell about valence electrons?
All elements in the same A group will have the same number of valence electrons.
Are all nuclei the same size diameter?
are all nuclei the same size( diameter
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.
