As far as we know, quarks are the smallest particles to exist. We have found 6:

- Top

- Bottom

- Up

- Down

- Strange

- Charm

Each of the quarks also has a property called color charge. These are red, green, and blue. Particles that are constituted of quarks must be color neutral. In all, there are 18 different possible types of quarks if one does not count antimatter. When antimatter is taken into account, that number increases to 36.

What is the name of quark?

Quark types are referred to as "flavors". The quark flavors are called: Up (u), Down (d), Charm (c), Strange (s), Top (t) and Bottom (b).

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.


What are the different quark flavors and how do they contribute to the overall structure of matter?

Quarks are elementary particles that make up protons and neutrons. There are six different types, or flavors, of quarks: up, down, charm, strange, top, and bottom. These quarks combine in various ways to form different particles, such as protons and neutrons. The different quark flavors contribute to the overall structure of matter by determining the properties of particles and how they interact with each other.


How can quarks change from one elementary type to another type when they change flavors?

Quarks can change flavors through the weak force interactions, which involve the exchange of W bosons. These interactions can transform quarks from one type (e.g., up quark) to another type (e.g., down quark) by changing the flavor of the quark while conserving certain quantum numbers like electric charge. This phenomenon is described by the Standard Model of particle physics.


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 are neutral pions made of?

Neutral pions are composed of a quark-antiquark pair, specifically an up quark and an anti-up quark or a down quark and an anti-down quark. They are the lightest mesons and are unstable, decaying rapidly into two photons.
