The quarks inside protons and neutrons are not the only quarks there are. When physicists create new particles in high-energy collisions, other kinds of quark appear. Ordinary matter never shows them.
First, a fact about every quark: quarks are fundamental particles. No experiment has ever found anything smaller inside a quark.
Counting them all, the quark family has six members. The six types of quark are called flavors. The word is a label, not a taste.
How many flavors of quark are there? Enter the number.
Strange really is the name of a quark flavor. So are charm, top, and bottom. Treat all six words as names.
Which of the following is a quark flavor?
A particle listed in a data book is labeled 'charm.' What kind of thing is charm?
Charm is on the list of six quark flavors: up, down, charm, strange, top, and bottom.
Charm is the name of a quark flavor.
Which list gives only quark flavors?
Which pair contains two quark flavors?
Which statement about quarks is correct?
A particle listed in a table is labeled 'bottom.' What kind of thing is bottom?
