What is stable nucleon?
A stable nucleon is a particle found in the nucleus of an atom, either a proton or a neutron, that is not subject to radioactive decay. These particles are essential for the stability of the nucleus and play a crucial role in determining the properties of the atom.
What is an uncharged particle in the nuecleus of an atom called?
The uncharged nucleon is the neutron. We use the term nucleon to refer to the particles that make up an atomic nucleus. These you know to be protons and neutrons. You also know protons carry a positive charge, and the neutron has no charge. The neutron is that uncharged nucleon.
What are Neutrons also called?
A Neutron can also be called a "Nucleon". Protons and Neutrons are both nucleons. But the Nucleon more hevy than Neutron
Is the protron a nucleon?
Yes, the proton is a nucleon. The term nucleon is used to speak of component particles of the nucleus of an atom. That means either a proton or a neutron. The term nucleon can be applied to either the proton or neutron when speaking of these particles as building blocks of atomic nuclei. Use the link to the related question below for more information.
What makes trans-uranium elements radioactive?
Transuranium elements are radioactive and unstable; the stability of a nucleus is a problem of nucleon physics.
Can a nucleon be either a neutron or a proton?
A nucleon means either a proton or a neutron, yes. However it is conceivable that the word will be extended to mean anything forming the nucleus of an atom. For example researchers in CERN have managed to produce anti-hydrogen. The nucleus of such an atom would be an anti-proton. It might be reasonable to call that one a nucleon as well.
Who discovered the nucleon?
The nucleon was not "discovered" per se. That's because the term nucleon, which is a derived word coming from nucleus, can be fairly applied to either of the two particles that make up the nucleus of an atom. You already know these particles are the proton and neutron. We don't call either particle a nucleon when that particle is outside the nucleus, but only when they're inside atomic nuclei. Nucleon is actually an umbrella term that isn't "one specific particle or thing" as we know it.
Any subatomic particle found in the atomic nucleus Another name for either proton or neutron?
A nucleon.
Which subatomic particle can be called a nucleon?
A nucleon refers to either a proton or a neutron, which are the subatomic particles found within the nucleus of an atom. Both protons and neutrons are collectively known as nucleons.
What is the name for both protons and neutrons?
a Nucleus A Nucleus usually consists of protons and neutrons,but the name for a proton or a neutron is "nucleon".
Nucleon is electrically neutral it is called?
A nucleon is one of the particles that make up the nucleus of the atom. Protons and neutrons are nucleons, and the neutronis the electrically neutral nucleon.
Is neutron number conserved in radioactive decay?
Neutron number is not conserved in radioactive decay processes. During beta decay, a neutron may convert into a proton, an electron (beta particle), and an antineutrino. This results in a change in neutron number.
