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.

A meson is made up of a quark and an antiquark, so there are two quarks in a meson.

What is the subatomic particle known as the maon and who predicted its existence. I'm absolutely sure that it is maon.?

Perhaps you meant the meson. Mesons are composed of two quarks, a quark and its antiquark. I'm not sure who predicted them but I believe the pi-meson was the first discovered. Then suddenly many more were discovered that were not predicted and they didn't know what to do until the current Standard Model was developed.


The building block of matter?

According to the standard model of particles that is most commonly accepted today, there are three main catagories of particle: Hadrons - these are heavy particles that are made up of a combination of three quarks. The most common are protons (made of 2 up quarks and a down quark), neutrons (2 downs and an up), anti-protons (2 anti-ups and an anti-down) and anti-neutrons (2 anti-downs and an anti-up). Leptons - these are light particles that as far as anyone knows do not consist of lower building blocks. examples of these include electrons, positrons, muons, and neutrinos and their anti-counterparts. Mesons - these particles made up of 2 quarks. There are 2 main types of meson, the pi meson and the k meson. Each meson is made of a quark and an anti quark. Pi mesons do not have strangeness, but K mesons do.


When you add two up quarks and one down quark you get this?

A two quark particle is called a meson. They consist of a color - anticolor pair, which produces "white." Examples of mesons include pions and kaons.


What parts in a atom is smaller than a electron proton and neutron?

Quarks are the elementary particles that make up protons and neutrons, and they are smaller than electrons, protons, and neutrons in size. Quarks are believed to be point-like particles, meaning they have no size or volume.


Which particle is thought to carry the strong force?

Gluons are believed to carry the strong nuclear force between quarks within the nucleus.


Smallest subparticle gluon meson or boson?

Gluons are force mediators, mesons are composite bosons, and bosons have an integral spin. Neither of these are the smallest particle. The smallest particles are quarks and electrons, believed to be single points.

How many quarks does aluminum have?

Aluminum does not have quarks. Quarks are elementary particles that make up protons and neutrons, which are found in the nucleus of atoms. Aluminum has 13 protons and 14 neutrons in its nucleus, each made up of quarks.

How may subatomic particles are?

atoms are made up of subatomic particles (protons, neutrons and electrons) there are a set of further elementary particles: quarks, leptons and bosons protons and neutrons are part of large family called hadrons. hadrons (baryons and meson) are made up of even smaller particles called quarks. muons and electrons are part of Leptons
