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


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 charge do the different subatomic particles have?

I suppose you are talking about electric charge (since there are others like color or hypercharge). Everything is in units of the elementary charge (i.e. ~1.6 * 10-19 C) The following particles have a charge of +2/3 Up Quark, Charm Quark, Top Quark The following particles have a charge of -1/3 Down Quark, Strange Quark, Bottom Quark The following particles have a charge of -1 Electron, Muon, Tau, Proton (but the Proton consists of two ups and one down quark), W- boson The following particles have a charge of +1 W+ boson The following particles have no charge: Electron Neutrino, Muon Neutrino, Tau Neutrino, Neutron (consists of two down and one up quark), Photon, Higgs (not found yet), Graviton (also not yet found), Z0 boson, gluon. There are also various other composite particles such as mesons, but those are far too numerous to list.


Which is the smallest particle a molecule an atom a proton a neutron or a quark?

A Quark, is the smallest.


If mesons are made up of one color of a quark and its anticolor then what if the other quark is the anticolor of a different color?

then the quark is created into a conductor

What has greater mass a muon or a quark?

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.


What is the smallest possible particle of a complete matter?

quark and anti-quark making the composition of protons and neutrons.


What are the names of 16 discovered fundamental particles in nature?

Fundamental particles include: 1. photon 2. electron 3. positron 4. proton 5. anti-proton 6. neutron 7. anti-neutron 8. neutrino 9. anti-neutrino 10. Higgs particle 11. muon 12. pion 13. top quark 14. bottom quark 15. up quark 16. down quark 17. strange quark 18. charm quark


What is the composition of a quark?

Currently quarks are believed to be fundamental particles, and as such are not composed of anything.


Why neutron is heavier than proton even though both contain three quarks?

The quark composition is different: - proton: 2 up quarks + 1 down quark - netron: 2 down quarks + 1 up quark The down quark is heavier.


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.


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".


The smallest particle in physics?

That depends. The smallest particle in the classic physics is te atom. In the modern physics is the quark (quark is the composition of an eletron). WHAT IS THE SMALLEST PARTICLE The quark


What is the symbol for a muon?

Muon=μ-Antimuon=μ+


When was Muon neutrino created?

Muon neutrino was created in 1962.
