What else can I help you with?
Which particle is smaller: a proton or a quark?
A quark is smaller than a proton.
How many up and down quarks are in one proton?
There are two up quarks and one down quark in a proton.
What particles are released from the nucleus when a down quark changes into an up quark?
When a down quark changes into an up quark in the nucleus, a Nestor is changing into a proton. The particles released (for almost all neutron to proton transformations) are an electron and an electron anti-neutrino.
Two up quarks and one down quark make up which of the following particles?
Yes, contrast to Proton which is made up of Two up and one down quark.
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.
What are the parts of an proton?
2 quarks and a down quark
3 sub-atomic particles of an atom?
Proton, neutron and electron At a lower level up quark, down quark, and electron
What are 3 particle's of the atom?
The up quark, the down quark, and the electron. Two up quarks and a down quark form a proton, and two down quarks and an up quark form a neutron.
Can the number change in a proton?
The number of quarks in a proton is always three.Two Up quarks and one Down quark
What is the smaller portion of the proton?
The quark! A proton is made of two Up quarks and one Down quark. The Up quark has a charge +(2/3)*e and the Down quark has a charge -(1/3)*e; where 'e' is the elementary charge of the electron. Since we know that a proton has a net charge of +e it must mean that a proton is +(2/3)*e+(2/3)*e-(1/3)*e = +(4/3)*e-(1/3)*e = +(3/3)*e = +(1)*e = +e
What is a proton quark made up of?
well, a quark makes up protons, nutrons and electrons. there are some therios: but no awnser, quarks are basic things. but they make up this whole universe. it is not yet discoverd what makes up quarks.
What do quarks have to do with creating a beta particle?
Beta decay involves changing an up quark into a down quark (Beta+) or a down quark into an up quark (Beta-). This causes a neutron to change into a proton (Beta-) and emit a W- boson which decays into a beta particle (electron and electron antineutrino), or, with extra energy, it causes a proton to change into a neutron (Beta+) which emits a beta particle (positron and electron neutrino). Quarks are involved because protons and neutrons are comprised of quarks in sets of three, two up quarks and one down quark to form a proton, and two down quarks and one up quark to form a neutron.
