Which of the following particles is not a nucleon?
Correct Answer: Electron
  • Step 1: Understand what a nucleon is. Nucleons are particles that are found in the nucleus of an atom.
  • Step 2: Identify the types of nucleons. The two types of nucleons are protons and neutrons.
  • Step 3: Look at the options given in the question. One of the options is an electron.
  • Step 4: Determine if the electron is a nucleon. An electron is not found in the nucleus; it orbits around the nucleus.
  • Step 5: Conclude that since the electron is not in the nucleus, it is not a nucleon.
