Does proton quarks have any charge?

Yes. Is is made up of one two quarks (charge 2/3 each), and one down quarks (charge -1/3), for a total charge of one.


What polarity are the different quarks?

The Top, Charm, and Up quarks have +2/3 of an 'elementary' charge. The Bottom, Strange, and Down quarks have -1/3 of an 'elementary' charge.


Do quarks carry charge?

Yes, quarks carry a charge. They carry a charge of either +2/3 or -1/3 depending on which quark we consider.


What is the electric charge on the neutron?

The neutron has no net charge. It is made of 2 down quarks (building block for neutrons, electrons and protons) and 1 up quarks. an up quark has a charge of +2/3 of an elementary charge (charge of a single proton), and a down quarks has a charge of -1/3. If you add it up, there is no charge.

A particle in a atom that has a negative charge is a?

Electrons and down quarks have negative charge, as do strange and bottom quarks, along with muons and taus.


Which subatomic particles are attracted to each other?

Protons, which have positive charge, attract electrons, which have negative charge. Also, quarks with positive charge attract quarks with negative charge. (Actually, it is this electric charge which defines the properties of the particle they make up. A proton has more quarks with positive charges than with negative charges, for example.)


What is the relative charge of a quark?

Up, Charm and Top Quarks have a charge of (2/3)e Down, Strange and Bottom Quarks have a charge of (-1/3)e Where e is the charge of the electron.


The atomic subunit that has a negative charge is the?

Electrons and down quarks have negative charge, as do strange and bottom quarks, along with muons and taus.


Where does the nucleus get its positive charge from?

The quarks that makeup the protons.


Two common quarks are called up with a charge of 23 and down with a charge of -13 protons are made up of 3 quarks How many of each quark would make a proton?

The proton has two up (electrical charge +1/3) quarks and one down (electrical charge -1/3) quark.


What can a positively charged in an atomic nucleus be?

The atomic nucleus itself has a positive charge. The protons in the nucleus also have a positive charge (the neutrons are neutral). Both protons and neutrons contain "up" quarks, which have a positive charge (the "down" quarks have a negative charge).
