There's no actual evidence that quarks are not fundamental particles, so as far as we know there's nothing inside them, they just are. There are a couple of half-baked theories that quarks are actually made of "strings" or "preons" (on the scale from "crackpot" to "fully validated scientific theory", strings are somewhat more "baked" than preons are), but there's no real experimental evidence for it; we're pretty much still at the level of some guy in ancient Greece saying "yeah, dude, everything is made of atoms." Except in ancient Greek, of course.

Two up quarks and one down quark make up which of the following particles?

Yes, contrast to Proton which is made up of Two up and one down quark.


What is an anti-down quark?

An anti-down quark is the antimatter counterpart of a down quark, one of the elementary particles that make up protons and neutrons in the atomic nucleus. It has opposite electric charge to a down quark and can combine with other quarks to form antimatter particles.


What is is the Relationship between quark and subatomic particle?

A quark is a kind of subatomic particle, and 3 quarks makes up another subatomic particle (a baryon). A quark and an anti-quark make up another kind of sub-atomic particle, (a meson).


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.

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.


What can a quark do?

a quark is a fundamental constituent of matter. It is what makes up protons and neutrons and there is nothing smaller than them. They cannot DO anything alone, merely make up other things

What molecules are part of a quark?

Molecules are not part of a quark, quite the reverse.Quarks are theoretical particles that make up, in various combinations, subatomic particles such as protons and neutrons.Protons, neutrons and electrons make up atoms of elements in their various combinations.Atoms of elements make up molecules in their various combinations.


If protons are positive and are made of two up quarks and one down quark why do neutrons have no charge but are made of two down quarks and one up quark?

The reason that protons are positive and neutrons have no charge is owed to the fact that quarks, which make up these particles, do not have integral charge. The charge of an up quark is +2/3, and the charge of a down quark is -1/3. When the charges of the quarks are added for the particles, we get the following: Proton = up quark + up quark + down quark = 2/3 + 2/3 - 1/3 = 4/3 - 1/3 = 3/3 = +1 Neutron = up quark + down quark + down quark = 2/3 - 1/3 - 1/3 = 2/3 - 2/3 = 0 (zero)


What is antiquarks?

The antiparticle of a quark is called as an anti quark. Which has the same mass but other properties are opposite. Example - Their charge. From the family(group) of quark Up has +2/3 whereas anti-up has -2/3. Quark is a matter ( particle ) whereas an anti quark ( antiparticle ) is antimatter
