Sub Nuclear Particles
[1] Sub Nuclear Particles
- The Nucleus Is Made Up Of Elementary Particles, Which Are,
The Protons And The Neutrons.
- The Protons And The Neutrons Contribute To Nearly All Of The
Mass Of An Atom (More Than 96%) Due To The Fact That The
Mass Of An Electron (Particles Which Revolve Around The
Nucleus) Is Extremely Small, And One Electron Weights
1/1837th That Of A Proton.
- A Proton Is A Positively Charged Particle Whereas A Neutron
Does Not Have Any Charge (It Is Neutral In Charge). But There
Is A Reason To Why The Protons And The Neutrons Have The
Charges As +1 And 0 Respectively.
- A Fundamental Particle Is A Particle Which Cannot Be Broken
Down Into Simpler Substances.
- In Fact, The Electron Is A Fundamental Particle, Whereas, The
Protons And The Neutrons Are Not, Which Means That The
Protons And Neutrons Can Be Broken Into Further Smaller
Particles Known As Quarks.
- Quarks Are The Fundamental Particles Which Make Up A Proton
And A Neutron. There Are 6 Types Of Quarks
(1) Up Quark
(2) Down Quark
(3) Top Quark
(4) Bottom Quark
(5) Charm Quark
(6) Strange Quark
[2] Quarks :
(1) Up Quark
- The Up Quark Is One Of The Six Types Of Quarks, Which Are
Elementary Particles And One Of The Fundamental Building
Blocks Of Matter.
- The Up Quark Carries A Positive Electric Charge Of +2/3
Elementary Charge.
- The Up Quark Is One Of The Two Lightest Quarks, With A
Relatively Small Mass Compared To Other Quarks.
- Up Quarks Are Essential Constituents Of Protons And Neutrons,
Which Are Types Of Hadrons. Protons Consist Of Two Up Quarks
And One Down Quark, While Neutrons Consist Of One Up Quark
And Two Down Quarks.
(2) Down Quark
- The Down Quark Is One Of The Six Types Of Quarks, Which Are
Elementary Particles And Fundamental Constituents Of Matter.
- The Down Quark Carries A Negative Electric Charge Of -1/3
Elementary Charge.
- The Down Quark Is One Of The Two Lightest Quarks, With A
Relatively Small Mass Compared To Other Quarks.
- Down Quarks Are Essential Constituents Of Protons And
Neutrons
(3) Top Quark
- The Top Quark Is The Most Massive Of All Known Elementary
Particles. Its Mass Is Significantly Larger Than That Of Other
Quarks.
- The Top Quark Carries A Positive Electric Charge Of +2/3
Elementary Charge.
- Top Quarks Are Not Stable And Decay Rapidly Before Forming
Hadrons. Due To Their Short Lifetime, They Do Not Participate
In The Formation Of Stable Hadrons Like Protons And Neutrons.
- The Top Quark Has An Extremely Short Lifetime, On The Order
Of 5 X 10^(-25) Seconds, Which Means It Decays Almost
Immediately After Being Produced.
(4) Bottom Quark
- The Bottom Quark, Also Known As The Beauty Quark, Is One Of
The Heavier Quarks But Is Not As Massive As The Top Quark. It
Has A Significant Mass Compared To The Lighter Quarks.
- The Bottom Quark Carries A Negative Electric Charge Of -1/3
Elementary Charge.
- Bottom Quarks Can Undergo Various Decay Processes. They Can
Decay Into Lighter Quarks, Such As Charm Quarks, And
Participate In Weak Interactions.
- The Bottom Quark Has A Longer Lifetime Compared To The Top
Quark But Is Still Relatively Short-Lived On The Order Of 1.5 X
10^(-12) Seconds.
(5) Charm Quark
- The Charm Quark Is One Of The Heavier Quarks But Is Not As
Massive As The Top Quark Or As Light As The Up And Down
Quarks. It Has An Intermediate Mass Compared To Other
Quarks.
- The Charm Quark Carries A Positive Electric Charge Of +2/3
Elementary Charge.
- Charm Quarks Are Involved In The Formation Of Hadrons.
- Charm Quarks Can Undergo Various Decay Processes. They Can
Decay Into Lighter Quarks And Participate In Weak
Interactions.
- The Charm Quark Has A Relatively Short Lifetime On The Order
Of 1.0 X 10^(-12) Seconds.
(6) Strange Quark
- The Strange Quark Is One Of The Heavier Quarks But Is Not As
Massive As The Top Or Charm Quarks. It Has An Intermediate
Mass Compared To Other Quarks.
- The Strange Quark Carries A Negative Electric Charge Of -1/3
Elementary Charge.
- Strange Quarks Can Undergo Various Decay Processes. They
Can Decay Into Lighter Quarks And Participate In Weak
Interactions
- The Strange Quark Has A Relatively Short Lifetime On The Order
Of 1.0 X 10^(-10) Seconds.
