The muon has a mass of 105.7 MeV/c2. You have to remember that there are six different types of quarks, eachwith a different mass. The up, down, and strange have a lower mass than the muon.
The charm, bottom, and top have a greater mass.

Why does antimatter anihilate matter and Would a positron anihilate a muon or a quark?
A positron is the antiparticle of an electron; in other words, it is an alternate name for the "anti-electron". Therefore, a positron would anihilate with an electron. I am not sure about the "why".
How can a neutrino or charm quark have a mass of less than zero?
For now, no particle has a mass less than zero. The Electron Neutrino for example has a mass of 0.0000079 eV (Or something like that). And the Charm quark has a mass of 1.29 GeV. Maybe you mistook it with spin or charge?
Fundamental particle responsible for keeping the nucleus together is muon or meson?
It is meson. Hideki Yukawa named it mesotron which was later corrected to meson. Muon was the first particle that had the predicted mass of a meson. It was discovered by Carl David Anderson. It was later conclude that it was not the right particle.
What is the smallest whole particle on this planet?
The smallest particle is the muon neutrino. The subatomic particles are not measured in size; they are measured in energy. The muon neutrino has an energy of less than 0.170 MeV/c2.
The greater the mass of an object the greater. is?
The greater the mass of an object the greater it's inertia The greater the mass of an object the greater it's inertia The greater the mass of an object the greater it's inertia
What is the quark composition of a muon?
A muon does not have a quark composition. It is an elementary particle in the Standard Model.
What are examples of subatomic particle?
six quarks, 6 leptons as well as 13 gauge bosons up quark down quark bottom quark top quark strange quark charm quark electron muon tau electron neutrino muon neutrino tau neutrino graviton photon W and Z and 8 gluons that carry the strong force
Do muon neutrino posses mass?
unknown at this time

Are electrons much smaller than protons and neutrons?
Within a Neutron there are two Down quarks and one Up quark. Within a Proton there are two Up quarks and one Down quark. You can not break a Electron down any further as it is a Subatomic Particle itself. Now a Up quark's mass is 2.4 MeV/c2, whilst a Down quark's mass is 4.8 MeV/c2. By using this information we can see that a Neutron has a greater mass than a Proton. Electrons have very little mass (0.511 MeV/c2). So to conclude a Neutron has a greater mass of a Proton, and a Proton has a greater mass of an Electron. This should answer the Question.
Which more mass a- proton or electron?
A Proton is made up of Subatomic Particles, these include Quarks and Leptons. Within a Proton are two Up quarks and one Down quark. An Up quark has a mass of 2.4 MeV/c2, whilst a Down quark has a mass of 4.8 MeV/c2. An Electron is a type of Lepton, so we can not break it down any further. An Electron has very little mass 0.511 (MeV/c2). So using the information provided we can safely say that a Protons mass is greater than an Electrons mass. This should answer the Question.
What atomic particles always carry a negative charge?
The electron, muon and tau; the down quark, the strange quark, the bottom quark; and the W boson.
What is a charm quark?
A charm quark is an elementary particle with an electrical charge of +2⁄3 e. It's a second generation up-type quark and has a mass of about 1.5 GeV/c2.
What is the muon's mass?
Muons decay by various methods, primarily, due to the weak interaction, into an electron and two neutrinos. The mass of the muon is 105.7 MeV/c2, with the mass of the electron being 0.511 MeV/c2, and the mass of the neutrino is less than 2.2 eV/c2. As a result, the loss of mass from muon decay, which is carried away as energy, is around 105.2 MeV/c2.
What is antiquarks?
The antiparticle of a quark is called as an anti quark. Which has the same mass but other properties are opposite. Example - Their charge. From the family(group) of quark Up has +2/3 whereas anti-up has -2/3. Quark is a matter ( particle ) whereas an anti quark ( antiparticle ) is antimatter
Why does antimatter anihilate matter and Would a positron anihilate a muon or a quark?
A positron is the antiparticle of an electron; in other words, it is an alternate name for the "anti-electron". Therefore, a positron would anihilate with an electron. I am not sure about the "why".
