Since all protons and neutrons are made of quarks and they have mass, quarks must have mass (in fact they do).
Protons and neutrons are composite particles make up of up and down quarks. There are two up quarks and one down quark in a proton, and two down quarks and an up quark in a neutron.
Quarks can actually vary greatly in size. The most common types of Quarks are Up and Down (scientists are not the most creative when it comes to names) and they have the mass of about 1/400 and 1/200 (respectfully) the mass of a proton. But some quarks, like the Top quark (another uncreative name) has the mass of the entire Tunston atom.
There are 6 different types of quarks, named in pairs:Top, BottomStrange, CharmUp, Down0123qwerty0123But don't forget that all particles, besides force particles ( gravity-graviton, electromagnetism-photon, weak force-low guage boson, strong force-gluon ), have antimatter counterparts.Anti-top, Anti-bottomAnti-strange, Anti-charmAnti-up, Anti-down
While there are some hypothesis that quarks might be made up of smaller particles, there is no general consensus on this topic.
Which of the four fundamental forces of nature is responsible for binding quarks to one another?
There are strong nuclear binding forces among nucleons which are responsible for stability of nucleus, the recent research proved that nucleons are composed of Quarks the fundamental particles of matter, the transfer of Gluons (a binding particle) among protons and neutrons creates strong binding forces.
Quarks and leptons are not elements.
The nuclear exchange force or simply the nuclear force. It is also known as nuclear binding force, but after the discovery of Quarks, the overall concept is changed, now colorforces among quarks and gluons are responsible for these bindings.
The 2 forces are-Strong nuclear force: The strong nuclear force or strong interaction (also called color force or colour force) is a fundamental of nature which affects only quarks and antiquarks, and is mediated by gluons in a similar fashion to how the electromagnetic force is mediated by photons. This force is responsible for binding quarks together to form hardons (including protons and neutrons), and the residual effects also bind these neutrons and protons together in the nucleas of the atom.Weak nuclear force: A force which is responsible for all of the byproducts of nuclear interactions. It is the only mechanism which can convert nuclear binding energies into electromagnetic energy, and hence heat and mechanical energy
A particle that binds quarks to one another
A baryon is a variety of heavy subatomic particle created by the binding of quarks by gluons.
The quark has a neutron and proton stuck on it in the nucleus, which is related to the isotope. But for the subatomic particle, it is in it! All quarks are subatomic particles but not all subatomic particles are quarks
A particle that binds quarks to one another. (Apex)
No, Higgs Boson is a theoretical particle yet to be observed directly or indirectly by humans. Quarks on the other hand have been observed directly and indirectly. Also, the Higgs boson is responsible for a field, however quarks are responsible for matter, and are the basic constituents of the nuclei in atoms.
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.
