Hoyt,
Regarding the size of the electron, Dewey B. Larson's Reciprocal System has a precise answer:
Diameter = 320.54 Pico meters (same for the neutron).
That couldn't be right could it? The Bohr radius is generally said to be .0529 nanometers, or 52.9 picometers, for a diameter of 105.8 pm; and it is actually measurable by several means. Therefore a little over 100 pm is the most probable diameter for monatomic H (i.e. the electron orbital in ground state hydrogen).
How does one account for the fact that the diameter of the electron, in the Larson model, would be so much larger than the measured diameter of entire hydrogen atom? I guess the captured electron would shrink due to the charge balancing - but the problem then would be the impossibly large neutron in deuterium ??? (assuming it is also over 300 pm in diameter)
