The total number of nucleon in the nucleus of an atom gives you an idea about the mass of that atom. In fact, one may refer mass number as nucleon number.
Simply put, nucleons are the particles that make nucleus of an atom and are held up together inside the nucleus due to nuclear force.
As thermal energy increases, there is more particle movement. As thermal energy increases, there is more particle movement. As thermal energy increases, there is less particle movement.
Sure hope this helps you
