The strong force is several million times stronger between quarks inside nucleons than the electromagnetic force is between charged particles. In fact if you apply enough energy to a nucleon to knock out a "free quark" the excess energy is enough to create a shower of quark-antiquark pairs that are attracted to the "free quark" and to each other resulting in a shower of ordinary nucleons and no free quarks.

Why quarks do not exist in free state?

Actually quarks can exist freely.


What is the energy band in which free electrons exist?

Free electrons exist in the conduction band, which is the highest energy band in a material where electrons are free to move and conduct electricity.


Why do metals at the top of the activity series never found in the nature as free elements?

because they are too reactive to exist on their own, they bond with other elements in nature to satisfy their need for electrons


Fundamental particle of an atom?

Protons and neutrons are found in the nucleus. While these are theoretically composed of quarks (conversely even more massive particles), quarks do not exist in a free state so are not "fundamental particles" by definition.


Which energy band do free electrons exist?

Free electrons typically exist in the conduction band of a material's energy band structure. In the conduction band, electrons are not bound to any specific atom and are free to move and conduct electricity.


Is an electron the smallest part of an element that can exist in a free state?

Yes, becasue there is nothing that makes them. That is as small as it gets! Although never experimental observed, quarks are the building blocks within hadrons such as protons and neutrons. Their size is speculative, but they are clearly smaller than a hadron. Neutrinos have far less mass than even electrons, and thus could be considered "smaller."


Is phosphoric acid made by man?

Yes, it does not exist free in nature.


Can a quark exist outside the nucleus of an atom?

Quarks, which are fundamental particles, all "suffer" from an extension of one of their basic characteristics (color) called color confinement, and this has a consequence. Quarks are never found free in space anywhere outside a hadron (like a proton or neutron) which they make up. Quarks, which are the bulding blocks of hardons, simply cannot exist outside the particles in which they are those building blocks. Links can be found below for more information.


Does bromine exist in its pure from?

Question as posed makes no sense. Free? In nature? If so, no.


Why the nature of materials affect the resistance?

The nature of materials affects resistance because different materials have varying numbers of free electrons, which are responsible for conducting electricity. Materials with more free electrons, like metals, have lower resistance since electrons can flow more easily through them. Conversely, insulating materials have high resistance because they have very few free electrons available for conducting electricity.


What is the speed of a quark?

Quarks do not exist as free particles and are always found within larger particles such as protons and neutrons. As a result, it is not meaningful to assign a speed to an individual quark.


What are metals conducting in nature?

Metals are conducting in nature because they have plenty of free electrons that can move freely throughout the material. These delocalized electrons can carry electric current due to their ability to flow easily in response to an electric field.
