How does the proton get the positive charge?
The proton is composed of three elementary particles called quarks. These quarks are influenced by the electromagnetic force and therefore have a charge. The quark makeup of one proton is 'uud', or 2 up quarks and one down quark. The charge of a proton is +1 e (as opposed to that of an electron; -1 e) The charge of an up quark is +2⁄3 e and that of a down quark is -1/3 e. Therefore you get +2⁄3 e + +2⁄3 e + -1/3 e which amounts to +1 e. The reason a neutron is neutral is for the same reason. It's composition is 'udd', or one up quark and two down. I won't actually write it out again, but when the charge of one up quark and two down is added the charge is 0 e
Which is the smallest of the basic forms of subatomic particles?
Quark is the smallest particle ever discovered.
How do you fix 'Error 101' in Quark Express?
That error bothered me quite often years ago while using Quark 4.0. One way to fix it is throw away the quark preferences file and restart, a longer fix, totally reinstall Quark.
What is the name of quark?
Quark types are referred to as "flavors". The quark flavors are called: Up (u), Down (d), Charm (c), Strange (s), Top (t) and Bottom (b).
What is the subatomic structure of a Meson?
A Meson is a subatomic particle that comprises of 1 quark and 1 anti-quark.
What is the quark composition of a muon?
A muon does not have a quark composition. It is an elementary particle in the Standard Model.
What is the smallest possible particle of a complete matter?
quark and anti-quark making the composition of protons and neutrons.
Why neutron is heavier than proton even though both contain three quarks?
The quark composition is different: - proton: 2 up quarks + 1 down quark - netron: 2 down quarks + 1 up quark The down quark is heavier.
The smallest particle in physics?
That depends. The smallest particle in the classic physics is te atom. In the modern physics is the quark (quark is the composition of an eletron). WHAT IS THE SMALLEST PARTICLE The quark
How many quarks are in a meson?
A meson is comprised of one quark and one antiquark. Another way to comment on the composition of the meson might be that it contains a quark-antiquark pair. A link can be found below for more information.
What is an anti-charm quark?
An anti-strange quark is an antiquark corresponding to the strange quark.
What is an anti-down quark?
An anti-up quark is an antiquark which corresponds to the up quark.
What is an anti-beauty quark?
An anti-beauty quark is an obsolete term for the anti-bottom quark.
What is the scientific name for quark?
Quark.
Which is the smallest particle a molecule an atom a proton a neutron or a quark?
A Quark, is the smallest.
When was the last quark discovered?
The final quark, the Top Quark, was discovered in 1995 at FermiLab.
What thing begins with Q?
