==Key Stage 5==
===Meaning===
'''Quarks''' are a type of [[fermion]] and are the constituent parts of [[hadron]]s.
===About Quarks===
: '''Quarks''' are believed to be [[Fundamental Particle|fundamental particles]] but they have never been observed on their own.
: '''Quarks''' always exist as part of [[hadron]] including a [[baryon]], which is a triplet of [[quark]]s or a [[meson]] which is a [[quark]]-[[antiquark]] pair.
: There are 6 types of [[quark]] including:
:*[[Up-quark]] - With a [[Electrical Charge|charge]] of <math>+\frac{2}{3}</math>, two of which are found in [[proton]] and one of which is found in a [[neutron]].
:*[[Down-quark]] - With a [[Electrical Charge|charge]] of <math>-\frac{1}{3}</math>, two of which are found in a [[neutron]] and one of which is found in a [[proton]].
:*[[Strange-quark]] - With a [[Electrical Charge|charge]] of <math>-\frac{1}{3}</math> which [[Radioactive Decay|decays]] quickly via the [[Weak Nuclear Interaction|weak interaction]] into a [[down-quark]].
:*[[Top-quark]] - With a [[Electrical Charge|charge]] of <math>+\frac{2}{3}</math> which [[Radioactive Decay|decays]] quickly via the [[Weak Nuclear Interaction|weak interaction]].
:*[[Bottom-quark]] - With a [[Electrical Charge|charge]] of <math>-\frac{1}{3}</math> which [[Radioactive Decay|decays]] quickly via the [[Weak Nuclear Interaction|weak interaction]].
:*[[Charm-quark]] - With a [[Electrical Charge|charge]] of <math>+\frac{2}{3}</math> which [[Radioactive Decay|decays]] quickly via the [[Weak Nuclear Interaction|weak interaction]].
