Protons and neutrons reside in the NUCLEUS and are thus NUCLEONS.
The probability of an electron being within a nucleus is quite small, so it is not considered a nucleon.

∙ 13y agoNucleons are found in the nucleus of an atom. Protons and neutrons, which comprise that atomic nucleus, can be referenced using an "umbrella term" when they are spoken of as the building blocks of an atomic nucleus. That term, nucleon, is the one we see used. See the related question, which is linked below.

What is the mass number of an atom that contains?
nucleons
The nucleus of an atom contains the?
It contains the nucleons (protons and neutrons)
Where is the nucleus of an atom?
The number of nucleons in an atom can vary. A nucleon is either of the two components that make up an atomic nucleus. That's either a proton or a neutron. Different atoms have different numbers of nucleons, and even different atoms of a given element can have different numbers of nucleons (because of isotopic variation). Let's look an a couple of examples to make our point.In hydrogen-1, which is the simplest and most common form of hydrogen, there is one proton in the nucleus of the atom. It has 1 nucleon. In hydrogen-2, there are a proton and a neutron in the nucleus, and that's 2 nucleons. In hydrogen-3, there are a proton and two neutrons in that nucleus, and that's 3 nucleons. In helium-3, there are two protons and a neutron in the nucleus, and that's 3 nucleons. You can see what's happening if you think it through.
What are protons and neutrons called?
They are called "subatomic particles." Another answerer suggested "nucleons," but this applies only to nuclear particles (protons and electrons). They are also Fermions, but there are fermions other than these three. I would stick with "subatomic particles."
What is the best description of how an atom is organized?
A small core of nucleons (protons and neutrons) surrounded by an attenuated cloud of electrons.
What does the nucleons carry in atom?
the nucleons contain neutrons and protons in it
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.
What is the mass number of an atom that contains?
nucleons
Essentially all of the mass of an atom is due to the?
nucleons
The mass number of an atom is equal to?
the number of nucleons ,,
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 in the nucleus?
Nucleons are particles are are included in the nucleus of an atom. These include neutrons and protons (and their anti-matter pairs).
Where is the nucleon located in an atom?
In the nucleus of the atom. The protons and neutrons of an atom are together collectively known as nucleons.
What is a generic name for the subatomic particles in the nucleus of an atom?
nucleons
What is nucleus of an atom?
The nucleus is the very dense region consisting of nucleons (protons and neutrons) at the center of an atom.
What is a proton or neutron as a component of the centre of an atom?
They are collectively known as nucleons, and together, all of them form the nucleus of an atom.
What does the atomic mass number of an atom tell you about the atom?
The mass number of an atom is equal to the sum of its number of protons and neutrons, simply, nucleons.
