Answer:
Nucleon, either of the subatomic particles, the proton and the neutron, constituting atomic nuclei. Protons (positively charged) and neutrons (uncharged) behave identically under the influence of the short-range nuclear force, both in the way they are bound in nuclei and in the way they are scattered by each other. This strong interaction is independent of electric charge.

In chemistry and physics, a nucleon is either a proton or a neutron, considered in its role as a component of an atomic nucleus. The number of nucleons in a nucleus defines an isotope's mass number. Until the 1960s, nucleons were thought to be elementary particles, not made up of smaller parts.
