Quarks are elementary particles that make up protons and neutrons. They are believed to be made up of smaller particles called preons, but this has not been proven conclusively.

What is the quark composition of a muon?

A muon does not have a quark composition as it is a type of elementary particle, not a composite particle made up of quarks. Muons are classified as leptons, which are fundamental particles that do not experience the strong nuclear force and are not composed of quarks.


How many quarks are in a meson?

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 composition of a quark?

Currently quarks are believed to be fundamental particles, and as such are not composed of anything.


Why neutron is heavier than proton even though both contain three quarks?

The quark composition is different: - proton: 2 up quarks + 1 down quark - netron: 2 down quarks + 1 up quark The down quark is heavier.


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.


Who is Captain Quark?

Captain Quark (Copernicus Leslie Quark) is a character from the Sony video game Ratchet and Clank made by Insomniac Games and High Impact Games.


If mesons are made up of one color of a quark and its anticolor then what if the other quark is the anticolor of a different color?

If a meson were made up of a quark and an antiquark with different colors but the antiquark's color was not the anticolor of the quark, then the meson would not be color-neutral overall. This configuration would violate the requirement for color neutrality in hadrons as defined by quantum chromodynamics.


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 neutrons made up of?

Neutrons are made up of Down and Up quarks. Each neutron has one Up quark and two Down quarks. Each Up quark has a two third positive charge while each Down quark has a one third negative charge.
