Oh, dude, you're hitting me with some physics here! So, like, technically speaking, quarks are smaller than electrons, but they make up protons and neutrons, which are part of an atom, where electrons hang out. So, like, in the grand scheme of things, they all play different roles in the tiny world of particles.
What else can I help you with?
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.
What are 5 keywords for particles?
Tiny, Identical, Spaces, Motion and Attraction.
What charge do the different subatomic particles have?
I suppose you are talking about electric charge (since there are others like color or hypercharge). Everything is in units of the elementary charge (i.e. ~1.6 * 10-19 C) The following particles have a charge of +2/3 Up Quark, Charm Quark, Top Quark The following particles have a charge of -1/3 Down Quark, Strange Quark, Bottom Quark The following particles have a charge of -1 Electron, Muon, Tau, Proton (but the Proton consists of two ups and one down quark), W- boson The following particles have a charge of +1 W+ boson The following particles have no charge: Electron Neutrino, Muon Neutrino, Tau Neutrino, Neutron (consists of two down and one up quark), Photon, Higgs (not found yet), Graviton (also not yet found), Z0 boson, gluon. There are also various other composite particles such as mesons, but those are far too numerous to list.
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.
A subatomic particle that has a negitive charge?
Electrons have a negative charge. Anti-Protons can be synthesized in certain cases, and also have a negative charge, although they would not be part of normal matter.
3 sub-atomic particles of an atom?
Proton, neutron and electron At a lower level up quark, down quark, and electron
What particles are released from the nucleus when a down quark changes into an up quark?
When a down quark changes into an up quark in the nucleus, a Nestor is changing into a proton. The particles released (for almost all neutron to proton transformations) are an electron and an electron anti-neutrino.
Is quark bigger or neutron?
Neutron is bigger than a quark. A neutron is a composite particle made up of three quarks, while a quark is a fundamental particle that makes up protons and neutrons.
What are 3 particle's of the atom?
The up quark, the down quark, and the electron. Two up quarks and a down quark form a proton, and two down quarks and an up quark form a neutron.
Which force acts between an up quark and an electron?
The force that acts between an up quark and an electron is the electromagnetic force. The interaction is due to the electric charges of the quark (+2/3) and the electron (-1), causing them to attract each other through the exchange of virtual photons.
What subatomic particle is the least and most massive and which subatomic particle is respectively?
least - electron most - the top quark
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.
What do quarks have to do with creating a beta particle?
Beta decay involves changing an up quark into a down quark (Beta+) or a down quark into an up quark (Beta-). This causes a neutron to change into a proton (Beta-) and emit a W- boson which decays into a beta particle (electron and electron antineutrino), or, with extra energy, it causes a proton to change into a neutron (Beta+) which emits a beta particle (positron and electron neutrino). Quarks are involved because protons and neutrons are comprised of quarks in sets of three, two up quarks and one down quark to form a proton, and two down quarks and one up quark to form a neutron.
Why do protons and electrons combine to form neutrons in a neutron star if protons are made of two up quarks and a down quark electrons aren't made of quarks and neutrons are made of two down quarks a?
Actually 'an' up quark.The weak nuclear force permits an interaction between an up quark and an electron that converts the up quark to a down quark and the electron ceases to exist, also an interaction between a down quark and a positron that converts the down quark to an up quark and the positron ceases to exist. There are also weak nuclear force interactions that change quark types by emitting electrons or positrons. Both the absorption and emission interactions described above are referred to as Beta Decay Processes. All Beta Decay Processes also involve emission of an electron neutrino or an electron antineutrino (the lightest known particle having a nonzero mass and a particle that has almost no interaction at all with other matter).
What composes a neutron?
A neutron is made of 3 quarks, namely an up quark and two down quarks. It is this composition of quarks that cause it to have zero charge. (An up quark has a charge of 2/3 and down quarks have a charge of -1/3 - thus 2/3 + (-1/3 *2) = 0) A free neutron (that is one that is not bound in a nucleus) will become a proton, an electron and an electron-neutrino. This happens through the weak force (it acts on a down quark, turning into an up). This does not mean a neutron contains an electron. It does not. Yes, an electron appears when a neutron decays, but that electron does not exist in the neutron as an electron, but it does not.
Which is bigger a quark or a neutron?
Since neutrons are made up of three quarks, it's very safe to say the neutron is bigger.
Is down quark heavier than up quark because neutron is heavier than proton?
Yes, the down quark is slightly heavier than the up quark. However, the difference in mass between a neutron and a proton is not solely due to the difference between the down and up quarks. Other factors, such as binding energy and contributions from virtual particles, also play a role in the mass difference between the two particles.
