What is another word for nucleon?
Pronunciation: [njˈuːklɪən] (IPA) 
Nucleon is a term commonly used in physics to refer to either a proton or a neutron, the two fundamental particles found in the nucleus of an atom. However, there are a few other synonyms that can be used to describe these subatomic particles. For example, they can be called hadrons, baryons, or even nucleons themselves. Hadrons refer to particles that are made up of quarks, while baryons specifically refer to particles made up of three quarks. Despite the various names, the importance of nucleons in understanding the structure of atoms and the behavior of matter cannot be overstated.
