quarks make up protons and neutrons and come in three colours. Red green and blue. each flavour has 6 'flavours' up, down, top, bottom, strange, charmed. refer to the standard model of particle physics for more info
---------------------------------------
Three quarks are u quark, d quark and s quark.
The charge of these quarks will be:
u quark has positive charge and equals to 2/3 of charge of a proton.
d quark and s quark have negative charge which equals to 1/3 of the elementary charge on a proton.
s quark differs from d quark because of its strangeness quantum number.
For d quark no strangenes quantum number where as s quark has strangeness number equal to --1.
So u and d quarks are responsible to form neutron and proton.
Hence for a neutron to become neutral, it is assumed to be made up of one u and two d quarks. (udd)
For proton as it has one e as the charge, it is assumed to be made up of two u and one d quarks. (uud)
Thus the quarks are the building blocks of elementary particles such as proton and neutron.
Quarks. There are three quarks in a proton.
There are three quarks: 2 up quarks and 1 down quark.
Each proton and neutron is made up of three quarks.
Each proton and neutron is made up of three quarks
A baryon: Protons, neutrons, and other odd combinations of quarks.
Any baryon by definition contains three quarks (or three antiquarks). The neutron, and proton, by the way, are both baryons, and the neutron contains two down quarks and one up quark.
Protons and neutrons, like all hadrons, are comprised of three quarks each.
A proton is comprised of three quarks; one down quark and two up quarks. For more information, please see the Related Link below.
Three common quarks are up, down, and strange. Up and down quarks are found in protons and neutrons, while strange quarks are found in certain types of subatomic particles.
Protons and neutrons are made up of three quarkseach.
Quarks are tiny parts of an atom to an extent. Atoms are made up of protons, neutrons, and electrons. Protons a neutrons are made up of three quarks each. Electrons, however, are not made of quarks.
Neutrons are composed of three quarks, specifically one "up" quark and two "down" quarks. These quarks are held together by the strong nuclear force, which is mediated by particles called gluons. The combination of these quarks gives the neutron its properties, such as its mass and charge neutrality.
