Also known as nucleus of atom, nucleus, atom nucleus, nucleus of an atom

core of the atom; composed of bound nucleons (protons and neutrons)

AI overview

The atomic nucleus is the tiny, dense core at the center of an atom made up of protons and neutrons held tightly together. It matters because the nucleus contains nearly all of an atom's mass and determines what element the atom is, making it fundamental to understanding how matter is structured and behaves.
