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 quark composition of a muon?

A muon does not have a quark composition as it is a type of elementary particle, not a composite particle made up of quarks. Muons are classified as leptons, which are fundamental particles that do not experience the strong nuclear force and are not composed of quarks.


What are examples of subatomic particle?

Examples of subatomic particles include electrons, protons, and neutrons. Electrons have a negative charge, protons have a positive charge, and neutrons have no charge. These particles are the building blocks of atoms.


Do muon neutrino posses mass?

unknown at this time


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 is an antibottom quark?

An antibottom quark (or b-bar quark) is the antiparticle of a bottom quark. It has the same mass as a bottom quark but opposite electric charge and other quantum numbers. When a bottom quark meets an antibottom quark, they can annihilate each other and produce energy.


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 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.


Are electrons much smaller than protons and neutrons?

Yes, electrons are much smaller than protons and neutrons. Electrons are fundamental particles with a much smaller mass compared to protons and neutrons which are made up of quarks. The mass of an electron is approximately 1/1836 times the mass of a proton or neutron.


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".


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 quark is the 6th quark also known as?

The six quark flavors are up, down, strange, charmed, bottom, and top. The top quark was the last to be created in an accelerator since its mass was so great; after a nearly 20 year search it finally was announced by Fermilab.
