Quarks are not strange or charmed per se. There are six different types of quarks, and each one has a different name:
- Up
- Down
- Charm
- Strange
- Top
- Bottom
These are just names - they do not imply that some quarks are indeed charmed while others are strange.
Each quark also has specific properties, including mass, as well as:
Color charge:
- Red
- Green
- Blue
Electric charge:
- Positive
- Negative
Spin:
- +1/2
- -1/2

What is a ice particle?
By Ice Particle, I assume you mean the smallest unit of ice that is still ice. That's called a Meson. A Mesons is one type of Hardon; the other is Baryon. Baryons are found primarily in steam. A meson is the basic building block of ice molecules. It is composed of a quark and an anti quark. Quarks have properties like spin, charge, top/bottom, flavor and strangeness. The interaction of these properties is what gives each meson its unique characteristics. For example, a Strange and Charming meson might become a snowflake. Based on this, you might think that a quark is the smallest unit of ice. It's not. A single quark isn't ice any more than an Oxygen atom is Air. In order for it to behave like ice, a quark needs to be part of a meson. If this answer is confusing, be sure to check the Wikipedia articles on Mesons and quarks. I found them very informative.
What is smallest unit of calssification?
The smallest unit is a quark. I'm not sure what you mean by 'of classification'
If protons are positive and are made of two up quarks and one down quark why do neutrons have no charge but are made of two down quarks and one up quark?
The reason that protons are positive and neutrons have no charge is owed to the fact that quarks, which make up these particles, do not have integral charge. The charge of an up quark is +2/3, and the charge of a down quark is -1/3. When the charges of the quarks are added for the particles, we get the following: Proton = up quark + up quark + down quark = 2/3 + 2/3 - 1/3 = 4/3 - 1/3 = 3/3 = +1 Neutron = up quark + down quark + down quark = 2/3 - 1/3 - 1/3 = 2/3 - 2/3 = 0 (zero)
What is the name of the smallest particle of matter?
A quark is the smallest particle in matter.
Protons and neutrons can be subdivided into by colliding them?
A proton can be divided into 2 Ups and a Down quark, and a neutron into 2 Downs and an Up quark. In general the quark is the elementary particle from which protons and neutron are formed.
What is the strangeness of the strange quark?
-1
The various of three quarks?
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.
When was Gateway to Strangeness created?
Gateway to Strangeness was created in 1962.
What is the name for qwark?
If you mean how to spell, then quark.
What does quark mean in food terms?
Quark is a type of soft curd cheese. The closest substitute for it if you cannot find Quark is ricotta, or blended and strained cottage cheese.

Who defined Romanticism as an addition of strangeness to beauty?
Walter Pater defined Romanticism as an addition of strangeness to beauty.
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 strangeness of the Omega Minus?
The Omega-minus particle is composed of three strange quarks, so it has a strangeness of -3.
