Mesons carry no net electric charge, as they are made up of a quark and an antiquark with equal and opposite charges. They are part of the family of subatomic particles known as hadrons, which are composite particles made up of quarks.

What is heavier meson or proton?

meson is heavier than electron but lighter than proton


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 a ice particle?

By Ice Particle, I assume you mean the smallest unit of ice that is still ice. That's called a Meson. A Mesons is one type of Hardon; the other is Baryon. Baryons are found primarily in steam. A meson is the basic building block of ice molecules. It is composed of a quark and an anti quark. Quarks have properties like spin, charge, top/bottom, flavor and strangeness. The interaction of these properties is what gives each meson its unique characteristics. For example, a Strange and Charming meson might become a snowflake. Based on this, you might think that a quark is the smallest unit of ice. It's not. A single quark isn't ice any more than an Oxygen atom is Air. In order for it to behave like ice, a quark needs to be part of a meson. If this answer is confusing, be sure to check the Wikipedia articles on Mesons and quarks. I found them very informative.


What is difference beween meson theory and yukawa theory of nuclear forces?

there is no difference b/w meson theory an yukawa theory of nuclear forces because yukawa predicted the nuclear forces as exchange of boson(messons) b/w neutron and proton which keep them bind in an atomic nuclei. so meson theory is just another name of yukawa's theory of nuclear forces.


Does the strong nuclear force have charges like the electromagnetic force does?

No. The strong nuclear force works through the exchange of a subatomic particle called a meson. Additionally, the strong nuclear force has to hold protons and neutrons together in the nucleus, so having a charge would have no effect on the neutrons.
