Chapter 18: Problem 2528

Nucleon is common name for (A) electron and neutron (B) proton and neutron (C) neutron and positron (D) neutron and neutrino

Short Answer

Expert verified
The nucleons are particles that make up the nucleus of an atom. The correct answer is (B) proton and neutron, as both of these particles are found in the nucleus of an atom.

Step by step solution

01

Identify the particles found in the nucleus

In atomic structure, the nucleus contains protons and neutrons. The electrons are found in the electron cloud surrounding the nucleus.
02

Check each option against the definition of nucleon

(A) Electron and neutron: The electron is not found within the nucleus, so this option is incorrect. (B) Proton and neutron: Both protons and neutrons are found in the nucleus of an atom, so this option is correct. (C) Neutron and positron: The positron is an anti-particle of the electron and is not found in the nucleus, so this option is incorrect. (D) Neutron and neutrino: Neutrinos are elementary particles and are not found in the nucleus, so this option is incorrect.
03

Choose the correct option

Based on the comparison with the definition of nucleon, the correct answer is (B) proton and neutron, as both of these particles are found in the nucleus of an atom.
