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 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.


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.


How does the mass per nucleon in uranium compare with the mass per nucleon in the fission fragments or uranium?

This is not something I really know anything about, but I do know that energy is liberated in the process, so you could expect it to be less in the fission fragments. It also depends on the nucleus. Proton and neutron masses differ somewhat, so it depends on what the ratio of protons and neutrons is as well.


What is Nucleon number of oxygen?

The nucleon number, also known as the mass number, of an oxygen atom is 16. This number represents the total count of protons and neutrons in the nucleus of the most common isotope of oxygen, which is oxygen-16. Specifically, oxygen has 8 protons and 8 neutrons, giving it a nucleon number of 16.


Is work required to pull a nucleon out of an atomic nucleus?

Yes, work is required to pull a nucleon (proton or neutron) out of an atomic nucleus because nucleons are held together by the strong nuclear force. Overcoming this force requires energy input, therefore work is needed to break these bonds and separate the nucleon from the nucleus.

When does a nucleon have more mass?

A nucleon has more mass when it is not bound to the nucleus of an atom. When the nucleon is bound to other nucleons the binding energy that keeps them together comes from the mass of the nucleon. Therefore the mass of a single nucleon will be smaller in an atom than on it's own.
