Like all sub-atomic particles, quarks do not have a radius in any meaningful sense. In other words, they are NOT like ball bearings for which you can say, "At this distance from the center of the quark, you are inside the particle, while further out you are no longer inside the quark." At the level of a quark, to speak of its size is to discuss a property with no meaning.
Quarks do have mass, but they contribute very little mass to the particles that are made up of quarks. Most of that comes from gluons.
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.
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.
Yes, an electron is smaller than a neutron. An electron is a fundamental particle and has a much smaller mass than a neutron, which is made up of quarks.
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 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.
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.
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.

Proton, neutron and electron At a lower level up quark, down quark, and electron
The elementary particle for a neutron is called a quark. Neutrons are made up of three quarks: two Down quarks and one Up quark.
The up quark, the down quark, and the electron. Two up quarks and a down quark form a proton, and two down quarks and an up quark form a neutron.
A neutron can be split up into 2 down quarks and an up quark.
A neutron.
Yes, an electron is smaller than a neutron. An electron is a fundamental particle and has a much smaller mass than a neutron, which is made up of quarks.
Quarks make up particles like protons and neutrons, which are composed of combinations of different quarks. In beta decay, a neutron transforms into a proton, an electron (beta particle), and an antineutrino. During this process, a down quark in the neutron changes into an up quark, facilitating the proton formation.
