What is a Nucleon ?
"What is a nucleon ?" is a question that can be answered at various levels of detail and complexity,
depending on the context.
This page describes nucleons at the the level required for high school chemistry (GCSE to A-Level in
the UK).
Definitions of a Nucleon:
Although it is useful to understand the word 'nucleon', 'nucleons' is not usually a topic in school
chemistry.
Instead, consider why it is useful to know about and understand protons and neutrons. They are
also important in the study of particle physics, nuclear physics (and chemistry), radiation and
radioactivity.
See also the pages about What is an atom ? (What-is-an-atom.php), What is a Proton (What-is-a-
proton.php) and What is a neutron ? (What-is-a-neutron.php)
Note: This is one of a series of simple pages introducing key concepts in introductory chemistry. Other pages in this section include elements, mixtures
and compounds (Elements-Mixtures-Compounds.php) and individual pages about substances (What-is-a-substance.php), elements (What-is-an-
element.php), mixtures (What-is-a-mixture.php) and compounds (What-is-a-compound.php), plus pages about atoms (What-is-an-atom.php), molecules
(What-is-a-molecule.php) and isotopes (What-is-an-isotope.php). If you need further information ask your chemistry tutor.
