Question

If we compare protons and neutrons, It Is not only the charge that differs. Look at the quarks of the particles and discuss the difference. Answer: The quark distribution in a proton is and the corresponding distribution in a neutron is . Thus, the difference is that one in a proton is switched for one in a neutron. When answer, please use lower case letters and state the quarks in the order as below, u up-quark d down-quark c charm-quark s strange-quark t top-quark b bottom-quark example uttb if your answer is one up, two top and one bottom quark.

Explanation / Answer

,QUARKS

any of a number of subatomic particles carrying a fractional electric charge, postulated as building blocks of the hadrons. Quarks have not been directly observed but theoretical predictions based on their existence have been confirmed experimentally.

two up (u) quarks and one down (d) quark; and the manner by which they influence, inter alia, the distribution of charge and magnetisation within this bound-state

neutron sports the symmetrically opposite two down quarks and one up quark.

The only difference between a proton and neutron is that you take every up

quark and turn it into a down quark, and you take every down quark and you turn it into an up quark. Otherwise, in many respects, they're the same object,
