nucleon

Any particle that exists in the nucleus of an atom. The number of nucleons is equal to the atomic mass number of an atom.

There are 35 nucleons in a Chlorine-35 atom, 18 being positively charged protons and 17 neutral neutrons.

Bono-nucleosis

An abnormal inflation of the ego generally attributed to lead vocalists. Common symptoms include douchy behaviour and failure to acknowledge band mates as equals. Term coined by Steve Terreberry.

That guy’s Bono-nucleosis makes me sick.

kilonova nucleosynthesis

The recently confirmed hypothesis that heavy elements are created as a consequence of a violent two-neutron star merger.

You mean to tell me that the gold, silver and platinum in my jewelry and the plutonium used in atomic weapons were made in the merger of neutron stars?
Yup, it's called kilonova nucleosynthesis; you get powerful gravitational waves also...check out LIGO!

nucleotide

A subunit of nucleic acid (e.g, deoxyribonucleic acidDNA or ribonucleic acidRNA). It consists of a 5-carbon sugar, a phosphate group, and a nitrogenous base (e.g., thymine, guanine, cytosine, adenine, or uracil).

Also, they are integrated into the cofactors of enzymatic reaction.

Furthermore, in cellular signalling, they are involved as cyclic adenosine monophosphate and cyclic guanosine monophosphate.

Lastly, nucleotides can also be chemical energy sources in the form of adenosine triphosphate(ATP), a core of metabolism.

While working with fish DNA, he replaced a single nucleotide with a different nucleotide.

The jogger used more of her ATP molecules when she ran.

Did you see the Shia LaBeouf arrest video? What a nucleotard.

nucleoelectronic charge

the charge and attraction between the nucleus of an ion/atom and the electrons around it.

a better/more scientific/specific word for attraction.

An Anion has a decreased nucleoelectronic charge compared to its parent atom due to increase shielding.
