They are "subatomic" particles.

Hi! The collective term for both protons and neutrons is NUCLEONS. This is so because both subatomic particles are found in the atom's so-called "heart", the nucleus.

Sum of proton number & neutron is called neucleon number (if that's what u meant). But if consider only both these particles, they make up the nucleus. They also make up most of the mass of an atom.

In physics a nucleon is a collective name for two baryons: the neutron and the proton.

the collective term is atomic mass.
protons in an atom + neutrons in that atom=massnumber or atomic mass.

They are the elements of an atomic nucleus? (Not to be confused with an actual 'element')
