The electron is considered to be an elementary particle and not composed of other particles, so there are no quarks in an electron. Particles composed of quarks are called Hadrons, the best-known being the Proton and the Neutron. The electron, on the other hand, is a Lepton.

∙ 15y agoThe standard mass for oxygen is 16. As there are three quarks per each proton and neutron (baryon), that gives us 48 total.
Electrons, being leptons, are not constructed of quarks.

What is smaller then an atom?
Electrons for one, and protons and neutrons are composed of quarks
What is a subtomic particale with a negative charge?
The electron has a negative charge. It is found in the electron cloud around the nucleus.
How many quarts are in an atom?
Atoms may have quarks, but definitely not quarts
What statements are true about quarks?
Each proton and neutron is made up of three quarks
What particles do the strong and weak nuclear forces act on?
The strong nuclear force is mediated by the gluon and acts on both quarks and gluons themselves. The most common examples of the strong nuclear force are the binding of quarks to form protons and neutrons, and the binding of quarks to form mesons, which in turn are the particles that hold the protons and neutrons together in the nucleus. The weak nuclear force is mediated by the W+, W-, and Z bosons and acts on all 6 flavors of quarks: up, down, charm, strange, top, and bottom; and all 6 flavors of leptons: electrons, electron neutrinos, muons, muon neutrinos, taus, and tau neutrinos.
Does electron has up or down quarks?
electron has no quarks. both electrons and quarks are fundamental particles and are composed only of themselves.
How is an electron made?
quarks
What device do scientists use to study quarks?
Electron Accelerator
How does quarks theory compensate spliting of neutron into electron and proton?
Supposedly one of the down quarks of the neutron becomes an up; thus the neutron becomes a proton and an electron (and a neutrino) are emitted.
What is smaller then an atom?
Electrons for one, and protons and neutrons are composed of quarks
Why electron is lightest subatomic particle?
Out of electrons, protons, and neutrons, neutrons are the heaviest subatomic particle, with a mass of about 1838 times that of the electron. (If you are asking about electrons, up quarks, and down quarks, then electrons still aren't the heaviest Down quarks are the heaviest, with almost 10 times the mass of an electron.)
What is the smallest part of one atom?
As far as we know the electron. quarks
What composes a neutron?
A neutron is made of 3 quarks, namely an up quark and two down quarks. It is this composition of quarks that cause it to have zero charge. (An up quark has a charge of 2/3 and down quarks have a charge of -1/3 - thus 2/3 + (-1/3 *2) = 0) A free neutron (that is one that is not bound in a nucleus) will become a proton, an electron and an electron-neutrino. This happens through the weak force (it acts on a down quark, turning into an up). This does not mean a neutron contains an electron. It does not. Yes, an electron appears when a neutron decays, but that electron does not exist in the neutron as an electron, but it does not.
What particles are found in the electron and a neutron?
The electron is an elementary particle; it contains no other particles. Neutrons are composed of quarks.
A particle in a atom that has a negative charge is a?
Electrons and down quarks have negative charge, as do strange and bottom quarks, along with muons and taus.
What sub atomic particles has a negative charge?
Electrons, down quarks, strange quarks, bottom quarks, muon lepton, and tau lepton all have negative charge. Also, the boson can be negative.
The atomic subunit that has a negative charge is the?
Electrons and down quarks have negative charge, as do strange and bottom quarks, along with muons and taus.
