In his book, he confused the nucleon and nucleus, as he misunderstood the nuclear umbrella.

在他的书里，他混淆了核子与核心，正如他误解了核保护伞。

Because of this, we’ll often refer the two particles collectively as nucleons.

因此，我们经常将这两个粒子统称为核子。

Because of this, we'll often refer the two particles collectively as nucleons.

因此，我们常常将两种粒子的集合体当作原子核。

But even though those numbers of nucleons add up, remember: Mass and energy are equivalent.

但即便核中的数字被加总了，还是要记得：质能守恒。

Now, a unique part of beta decay is that no nucleons are emitted during the decay process.

现在，一个beta衰变的特别部分是当衰变产生时没有一个核子。

Topics that people use muons for range from fundamental constants of nature, basic symmetries, weak nucleon and nuclear interactions.

人们使用 μ 子的主题范围从自然的基本常数、基本对称性、弱核子和核相互作用。

The mass number is just the total number of nucleons in the nucleus, which is different from atomic mass.

质量数只是原子核中核子的总数， 它不同于原子质量。

Collectively, by the way, these particles are known as nucleons.

顺便说一下， 这些粒子统称为核子。

But while the total binding energy still increases for nuclei larger than iron, the binding energy per nucleon, in fact, decreases.

但是，虽然对于比铁大的原子核，总结合能仍然增加，但实际上每个核子的结合能却降低了。

While the strong force acts on nucleons, the weak force alters quarks, the fundamental particles that make up both protons and neutrons.

当强力作用于核子时，弱力改变了夸克，夸克是构成质子和中子的基本粒子。
