The quark composition is different:

- proton: 2 up quarks + 1 down quark

- netron: 2 down quarks + 1 up quark

The down quark is heavier.

Which are the subatomic particles of an atom?

These particles are: proton, neutron, electron. Proton and neutron contain quarks and gluons.


Does a neutron weigh as much as a proton?

No, a neutron is slightly more massive than a proton. Both particles have roughly the same mass, but due to the different composition of their internal quarks, the neutron is slightly heavier.

How does quarks theory compensate spliting of neutron into electron and proton?

Supposedly one of the down quarks of the neutron becomes an up; thus the neutron becomes a proton and an electron (and a neutrino) are emitted.

How many quarks are in neutron?

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.

What sub atomic particles has a negative charge?

Electrons, down quarks, strange quarks, bottom quarks, muon lepton, and tau lepton all have negative charge. Also, the boson can be negative.


What are the subatomic particles that make up protons and neutron's?

Quarks make up protons and neutrons, which, in turn, make up an atom's nucleus. Each proton and each neutron contains three quarks. A quark is a fast-moving point of energy.
