What are quark combination of proton and neutron?

P=UUD (two up, one down) N=DDU (two down, one up) Down quarks are charge -1/3 relative to a proton and up quarks are charge +2/3 relative to a proton.


What is an antibottom quark?

An antibottom quark (or b-bar quark) is the antiparticle of a bottom quark. It has the same mass as a bottom quark but opposite electric charge and other quantum numbers. When a bottom quark meets an antibottom quark, they can annihilate each other and produce energy.


What is an anti-beauty quark?

An anti-beauty quark, also known as a bottom antiquark, is the antiparticle counterpart of the beauty quark. It is a fundamental particle that has the opposite electric charge and other quantum numbers compared to the beauty quark. When a beauty quark and an anti-beauty quark pair up, they annihilate each other, releasing energy in the form of other particles.


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 an anti-charm quark?

An anti-charm quark is the antiparticle of the charm quark. Charm quarks are a type of elementary particle that is a building block of matter, as described in the Standard Model of particle physics. Anti-charm quarks have an electric charge of +2/3 and are involved in various particle interactions.

What is relative in 'relative charge'?

Relative means that it is compared to something. For example, the relative charge of a proton is +1 and it is relative to that proton. The relative charge of an electron is -1 relative to protons. That means it is exactly the same, but opposite. The relative charge of an up quark is +2/3, and that means that the charge of that quark is 2/3 of the charge of the proton. It depends what it is compared to.

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 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.


What is a charm quark?

A charm quark is an elementary particle with an electrical charge of +2⁄3 e. It's a second generation up-type quark and has a mass of about 1.5 GeV/c2.

How does the proton get the positive charge?

The proton is composed of three elementary particles called quarks. These quarks are influenced by the electromagnetic force and therefore have a charge. The quark makeup of one proton is 'uud', or 2 up quarks and one down quark. The charge of a proton is +1 e (as opposed to that of an electron; -1 e) The charge of an up quark is +2⁄3 e and that of a down quark is -1/3 e. Therefore you get +2⁄3 e + +2⁄3 e + -1/3 e which amounts to +1 e. The reason a neutron is neutral is for the same reason. It's composition is 'udd', or one up quark and two down. I won't actually write it out again, but when the charge of one up quark and two down is added the charge is 0 e


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.


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 the smaller portion of the proton?

The quark! A proton is made of two Up quarks and one Down quark. The Up quark has a charge +(2/3)*e and the Down quark has a charge -(1/3)*e; where 'e' is the elementary charge of the electron. Since we know that a proton has a net charge of +e it must mean that a proton is +(2/3)*e+(2/3)*e-(1/3)*e = +(4/3)*e-(1/3)*e = +(3/3)*e = +(1)*e = +e
