and the fact that it is stable to estimate the strength of the strong nuclear force between nucleons. assume the distance between nucleons is 10−15 m

What is the opposite of nucleons?

Antinucleons! Antiprotons and antineutrons do exist. See Wikipedia entries. == As nucleons are particles in the nucleus of an atom, and that means protons and neutrons, their opposite might be electrons. Electrons are essential components of atoms that are not found in the nucleus, but rather in the electron cloud that is far from the nucleus and defines the volume of an atom.


Particles is found in the nucleus of an atom?

Particles found in the nucleus of an atom are named as nucleons. There are mainly two type of nucleons. They are protons and neutrons. Protons are having positive charge but neutron is chargeless. To keep these nucleons together a particle known as pi mesons are exchanged between the nucleons.


What are nucleons held together by?

Nucleons, which are protons and neutrons, are held together by the strong nuclear force. This force overcomes the electrostatic repulsion between positively charged protons in the nucleus, keeping the nucleus stable.


What happens to the total number of nucleons during beta decay?

The total number of nucleons remains the same during beta decay. A neutron is converted into a proton and an electron (beta particle), so the total number of nucleons (protons + neutrons) stays constant.


Which particles are found in the nucleus of the atom?

They're called nucleons. The two types of nucleons are protons and neutrons. Protons are positively charged nucleons and determine, in an atom, what element that atom is. Neutrons have no charge and just supposedly add mass to an atom.
