nucleons

These investigations were extended by Wigner to the atomic nuclei at the end of the 1930's and he explored then also the newly discovered symmetry property of the force between two nucleons to be the same whether either of the nucleons is a proton or a neutron.

Expressed very simply, it can be said that as a result of their motion, certain nucleons expose the "walls" of the nucleus to such high centrifugal pressure that it becomes deformed.

Their interaction with the nucleons is strong and charge-independent.

A very important step in the investigation of these forces was taken by Wigner in 1933 when he found, deducing from some experiments, that the force between two nucleons is very weak except when their distance apart is very small but that the force is then a million times stronger than the electric forces between the electrons in the outer part of the atoms.

These building elements of the atomic nuclei are called "nucleons" and are held together by the so-called nuclear forces.

"As the nucleon mass is nearly 2000 times the mass of an electron, then all atoms and molecules contain at least as many nucleons as electrons, baryons account for more than 99.5% of the total mass of all the chemical elements observed in the Universe."

The prevailing view is that nuclear processes (associated with nucleons inside atomic nuclei) are not influenced by chemical processes (associated with atomic electrons).

Near black holes, the tidal force is expected to be strong enough to deform any object falling into it, even atoms or composite nucleons; this is called spaghettification.

The most stable nuclei are those of iron (56 nucleons) and nickel (62 nucleons).
