A neutron has 3 valence quarks. An up quark, and two down quarks. An up quark has a charge of 2/3 and a down quark has a charge of -1/3.
Since 2/3 - 1/3 - 1/3 = 0, neutrons have a neutral charge.
Besides valence quarks, supposedly a hadron can contain an infinite sea of quarks that don't affect the properties of the hadron.
What else can I help you with?
There are how many different quarks?
There are 3 generations of quarks; each generation having 2 different quarks within it. Thus, there are 3 X 2 = 6 types of quarks. Their names are up, down, strange, charm, top, and bottom. Each of these 6 quarks has a unique antiparticle associated with it. Thus, there are in fact 6 X 2 = 12 different quarks in total.
How many quarks have been found to exist?
There are six types of quarks known to exist: up, down, charm, strange, top, and bottom. They are fundamental particles that combine in different ways to form protons and neutrons, the building blocks of atomic nuclei.
Two common quarks are called up with a charge of 23 and down with a charge of -13 protons are made up of 3 quarks How many of each quark would make a proton?
To make a proton, which has a charge of +1, you would need two up quarks (each with a charge of +2/3) and one down quark (with a charge of -1/3) since the total charge of a proton is the sum of the charges of its constituent quarks.
What is true about quarks?
Each proton and neutron is made up of three quarks.
How many up and down quarks are in one proton?
There are two up quarks and one down quark in a proton.
How many quarks are in protons and neutrons?
Protons and neutrons, like all hadrons, are comprised of three quarks each.
How many quarks in a grain of sand?
There are 3 quarks in each neutron. There are 12 neutrons in each proton. There is 1 proton in each atom. There is 36 quarks in each atom. There are about 27 million atoms in each grain of sand. 36 x 27,000,000 = 972,000,000. There are 972 million quarks in a grain of sand.
How many quarks does aluminum have?
Aluminum does not have quarks. Quarks are elementary particles that make up protons and neutrons, which are found in the nucleus of atoms. Aluminum has 13 protons and 14 neutrons in its nucleus, each made up of quarks.
How many and which types of quarks are protons and neutrons made of?
3 each. A proton is composed of 2 up quarks and 1 down quark. A neutron is composed of 1 up quark and 2 down quarks.
What is a true statement about quarks?
Each proton and neutron is made up of three quarks.

Each proton and neutron is made up of three quarks
Where do you find a nuetron?
you can find a nuetron in the nucleus.
Who was the nuetron discovered by?
James Chadwick discovered the nuetron.

Quarks are held to each other by what?
The answer is GLUONS
The number of quarks in a proton or neutron is?
3 in each
How many quarks are in molybdenum?
The count of quarks in an atom of molybdenum would depend on the nuclide's mass number (A), or in other words, on which isotope. 3 * A = (quark count) since both neutrons and protons have 3 quarks each. The lowest we know about (Mo-83) would have 249 quarks, the highest (Mo-115) would have 345. Molybdenum-98 is the commonest isotope with (3 * 98) quarks.
