football in a football ground....

dape · Answer

The electron doesn't have a radius, it's not really spherical.

dape · Answer

You can give it an approximate 'radius' that describes how it scatters of off other particles in a non-quantum mechanical model. In that case it's about the same size as a smaller atomic nucleus.

100 times larger? 
50 times smaller?
50,000 times larger? 
or
100,000 times larger?

dape · Answer

They probably mean the electron probability distribution around the nucleus of an atom, not the electron as a free particle. In that case it's much bigger, approximately 50,000 times bigger.
