Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. Each kind of quark also has a 'partner' known as its:

Answer: Antiquark

An anti-particle (or, in this case, an anti-quark) has the same mass as the 'normal' particle but opposite values of some other property or properties. These properties might include charge, spin properties or something else. The existence of anti-quarks is predicted by relativistic quantum mechanics and many of them have been discovered experimentally.
2. The fundamental particles can be divided into three groups. Which of these is NOT one of them?

Answer: Charms

The fundamental particles have no known smaller matter; they are the absolute 'building blocks' of everything. Even the elements are made of atoms, which in turn are made of protons, neutrons, and electrons, and protons and neutrons are made of leptons, quarks, and bosons, or mediators.
3. Mesons and baryons are two types of:

Answer: Hadrons

There are two kinds of hadrons-- (1) baryons and (2) mesons. A baryon is a three-quark combination. A proton is a baryon consisting of two up quarks and one down, while a neutron is a baryon made up of two downs and one up. A meson is made up of a quark and an antiquark.
4. A quark carries a charge called an OPEN charge.

Answer: False

Every quark also has a sort of 'partner' made up of its opposite. This opposite, its antiquark, behaves in the exact opposite way of its 'partner'. Quarks and antiquarks also have opposite charges.
5. What letter represents the 'down' quark?

Answer: d

Each type of quark is represented by its first letter. The down quark equals d, charm quark equals c, etc.
