There are how many different quarks?
There are 3 generations of quarks; each generation having 2 different quarks within it. Thus, there are 3 X 2 = 6 types of quarks. Their names are up, down, strange, charm, top, and bottom. Each of these 6 quarks has a unique antiparticle associated with it. Thus, there are in fact 6 X 2 = 12 different quarks in total.
What are the names of the types of quarks in protons and neutrons?
Protons and neutrons are composite particles make up of up and down quarks. There are two up quarks and one down quark in a proton, and two down quarks and an up quark in a neutron.
Are electrons made of quarks?
No, electrons are not made of quarks. Electrons are elementary particles, which means they are not composed of smaller particles like quarks. Quarks are building blocks of protons and neutrons, which are found in the nucleus of an atom.
Do electrons have quarks within their structure?
No, electrons do not have quarks within their structure. Electrons are elementary particles that do not contain quarks. Quarks are fundamental particles that make up protons and neutrons, which are found in the nucleus of an atom.
How small is a quarks?
Quarks can actually vary greatly in size. The most common types of Quarks are Up and Down (scientists are not the most creative when it comes to names) and they have the mass of about 1/400 and 1/200 (respectfully) the mass of a proton. But some quarks, like the Top quark (another uncreative name) has the mass of the entire Tunston atom.
