Quarks are elementary particles that are the building blocks of the universe. There are six types of quarks - up, down, charm, strange, top, and bottom - each with different masses and charges. Quarks combine to form hadrons like protons, made of two up quarks and one down quark, and neutrons, made of two down quarks and one up quark. The quark model was first proposed independently in 1964 by Murray Gell-Mann and George Zweig and later confirmed experimentally in 1968.

- 2. What Are Quarks ??? •Quarks are elementary particles which we mainly refer as the building blocks of the universe. •These quarks then combine to for hadrons such as protons and neutrons.
- 3. The Different Types Of Quarks There are six types of quarks and their antiquarks, which are : 1)Up Charge:+2/3 Charge:-2/3 Mass: 2.4MeV Mass: 2.4MeV 2)Down Charge:-1/3 Charge:+1/3 Mass:4.8MeV Mass:4.8MeV 3)Charm Charge:+2/3 Charge:-2/3 Mass:1.27GeV Mass:1.27GeV 4)Strange Charge:-1/3 Charge:+1/3 Mass:104MeV Mass:104MeV 5)Top Charge:+2/3 Charge:-2/3 Mass:171.2GeV Mass:171.2GeV 6)Bottom Charge:-1/3 Charge:+1/3 Mass:4.2GeV Mass:4.2GeV
- 4. The Quark Model The quark model was first thought of two scientists Murray Gell- Mann and George Zweig in 1964, who worked independently. This was then confirmed in 1968 by Stanford Linear Accelerator Center(SLAC). Quark Model
