A meson is comprised of one quark and one antiquark. Another way to comment on the composition of the meson might be that it contains a quark-antiquark pair. A link can be found below for more information.

What is the subatomic particle known as the maon and who predicted its existence. I'm absolutely sure that it is maon.?

Perhaps you meant the meson. Mesons are composed of two quarks, a quark and its antiquark. I'm not sure who predicted them but I believe the pi-meson was the first discovered. Then suddenly many more were discovered that were not predicted and they didn't know what to do until the current Standard Model was developed.


What are the components of a meson?

A meson is made of quarks - specifically a quark-antiquark pair. Some are called pions and kaons. They are all short lived particles that have been identified from high energy collisions. See Wikipedia for more detail.

Actually, there quarks and mesons. They are the fundamental particles of an atom. Some scientists think that a quark or meson is just a point.


The building block of matter?

According to the standard model of particles that is most commonly accepted today, there are three main catagories of particle: Hadrons - these are heavy particles that are made up of a combination of three quarks. The most common are protons (made of 2 up quarks and a down quark), neutrons (2 downs and an up), anti-protons (2 anti-ups and an anti-down) and anti-neutrons (2 anti-downs and an anti-up). Leptons - these are light particles that as far as anyone knows do not consist of lower building blocks. examples of these include electrons, positrons, muons, and neutrinos and their anti-counterparts. Mesons - these particles made up of 2 quarks. There are 2 main types of meson, the pi meson and the k meson. Each meson is made of a quark and an anti quark. Pi mesons do not have strangeness, but K mesons do.


When you add two up quarks and one down quark you get this?

A two quark particle is called a meson. They consist of a color - anticolor pair, which produces "white." Examples of mesons include pions and kaons.


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.


Where should you find a quark?

Quarks, which are fundamental particles, make up a composite particles called a hadron. The hadrons come in two types, and they are the baryon and the meson. The two best known hadrons are protons and neutrons, which are made up of three quarks each. The fact that the proton and neutron are made up of three quarks makes them baryons. Mesons are made up of two quarks. Use the link below for more information on quarks.

Smallest subparticle gluon meson or boson?

Gluons are force mediators, mesons are composite bosons, and bosons have an integral spin. Neither of these are the smallest particle. The smallest particles are quarks and electrons, believed to be single points.
