Nucleons are composed of?

A nucleon is a name for a group of two important subatomic particles. They consist of both neutrons and protons.


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.


Is the electron a nucleon or not?

The term nucleon signifies any particle that is present inside the nucleus of an atom. We know that the nucleus of any atom contains only two particles which are proton and neutron whereas electron are present outside the nucleus revolving around it. Hence, electron is not a nucleon.


What do you find when you subtract the proton number from the nucleon number?

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.


Which subatomic particles are found in the atom?

Atoms have a central nucleus in which there are particles called nucleons. The term nucleon is a collective term for protons and neutrons. Protons have a positive charge and neutrons have no charge (are neutral). Both protons and neutrons contain quarks. A proton comprises two up quarksand one down quark. A neutron contains two down quarks and one up quark. Quarks are pronounced 'corks' and are held together by gluons.Surrounding the nucleus, there are energy levels in which electrons orbit. Electrons have a negative charge.Of all the particles in an atom, only quarks and electrons are truly fundamental particles.
