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.

It is the atom of deuterium. Its nucleus is composed of a proton and one neutron. The atom has one electron that is orbiting around the nucleus.
No two subatomic particles have the exact same mass. The proton and the neutron, however, come close. Neutrons are heavier than protons by only 2.3 X 10-30 kg. (Neutron: 1.674927351 x 10-27, Proton: 1.672621777 x 10-27)
Ion.
neutron has no electric charge.electron is negative whereas proton is positively charge.
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.
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.
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.
The term nucleon is applied to any particle that makes up an atomic nucleus. That means it can be applied to either a proton or a neutron (but only when we are talking about them as the components of an atomic nucleus). The nucleon with the positive charge is the proton. You'll recall that the neutron is a neutral particle; it has no charge.
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.
a Nucleus A Nucleus usually consists of protons and neutrons,but the name for a proton or a neutron is "nucleon".
In chemistry and physics, a nucleon is one of the two particles that make up the atomic nucleus. Protons are one of the nucleons, Neutrons are the other nucleon.Thus by subtracting the number of Protons in the nucleus (the Proton number) from the total number of nucleons (the nucleon number) you will get the total number of Neutrons (the neutron number) in the atoms nucleus.
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.
The particles found in the nucleus are collectively called nucleons. Nucleons are protons and neutrons.
It still has 7 protons because isotopes of elements have variable NEUTRON numbers, not nucleon (atomic mass) or proton numbers.
No, because Hydrogen is the element that reacts by either leaving it's proton from an acid or adding it's proton to a base and hydrogen does not have a neutron.
