Question

What is the electrical charge of the baryons with the quark compositions (a) $$\bar u \bar u \bar d$$ and (b) $$\bar u \bar d \bar d$$ (c) What are these baryons called?

Solution
Verified by Toppr

(a)$$\bar u \bar u \bar d$$: $$charge=\Bigg(-\dfrac{2}{3}e\Bigg)+\Bigg(-\dfrac{2}{3}e\Bigg)+\Bigg(\dfrac{1}{3}e\Bigg)=-e$$
b)$$\bar u \bar d \bar d$$: $$charge=\Bigg(-\dfrac{2}{3}e\Bigg)+\Bigg(\dfrac{1}{3}e\Bigg)+\Bigg(\dfrac{1}{3}e\Bigg)=0$$
(c) antiproton ; antineutron

It is now known that a proton and a neutron consist of three elementary units called 'quarks'. Two types of quarks are involved the 'up' quark (u) of charge +23e and the 'down' quark (d) of charge 13e, where e is the magnitude of electron's charge. ¯¯¯u and ¯¯¯d are their antiparticles. An antiparticles has the same magnitude of charge as the particle but of opposite sign. The possible compositions of a proton and a neutron are
