standard model - What's inside a proton? - Physics Stack Exchange
Oct 19, 2013 · What constitutes protons? When I see pictures, I can't understand. Protons are made of quarks, but some say that they are made of 99% empty space. Also, in this illustration …
What are quarks made of? - Physics Stack Exchange
So atoms are formed from protons and neutrons, which are formed from quarks. But where do these quarks come from? What makes them?
Can an electron and a proton be artificially or naturally merged to ...
Jan 10, 2021 · 22 My sense is that even though neutrons decay into a proton and an electron they are made up of quarks, it is not just some "merged" particle where, for example, the electron is …
What are the things in the atom(neutron, proton, electron) made of?
Oct 23, 2016 · The number of protons in the atom control the type of element the atom is, the number of electrons in the atom control how the atom reacts with other atoms, and the number …
Why are protons, rather than electrons, the nucleus in atoms?
Sep 20, 2021 · The nucleus has one overall wavefunction that encompasses all the quarks that make it up, and the "protons" and "neutrons" are more fluctuations in this wavefunction than …
Are atoms made of protons, electrons and neutrinos?
Nov 28, 2014 · Nuclei are made of neutrons and protons, which in turn consist of quarks and gluons, and hence, on an elementary level, atoms are made of electrons, quarks and gluons.
Why doesn't a nucleus-like body made up of just neutrons exist?
May 17, 2022 · So why doesn't a nucleus-like body exist, purely made up of neutrons? That would be highly stable because there is no coulombic repulsion between neutrons as they don't have …
