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.

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,
Elements that have the same number of valence electrons are?
All elements in the same group have the same number of valence electrons.
What is the relationship between the electrons and neutrons and protons?
Electrons are negatively charged, smaller than neutrons and protons, and orbit around the nucleus. Neutrons have no charge, are about the same size as protons and are found in the nucleus. Protons have a positive charge, are about the same size as neutrons and are found in the nucleus.
What is the same between neutrons and electrons?
When the number of electrons and neutrons are the same, it means that the number of protons will also be the same amount. For example a nitrogen atom has 7 electrons and 7 neutrons, this means that the number of protons will also be 7.
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.
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.
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,
Elements that have the same number of valence electrons are?
All elements in the same group have the same number of valence electrons.
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 is the relationship between the electrons and neutrons and protons?
Electrons are negatively charged, smaller than neutrons and protons, and orbit around the nucleus. Neutrons have no charge, are about the same size as protons and are found in the nucleus. Protons have a positive charge, are about the same size as neutrons and are found in the nucleus.
Where are elements with the same number of valence electrons?
All elements in the same group have the same number of valence electrons.
What atom has the same number of protons and electrons?
Naturally, all elements have the same number of electrons and protons.
Are all the plates the same size?
No, all plates are not the same size
