==Key Stage 5==
===Meaning===
A [[baryon]] is a type of [[hadron]] made of three [[quark]]s.
===About Baryons===
: '''Baryons''' include:
:*[[Proton]] - A type of [[baryon]] with a [[mass]] of 1.67x10<sup>-27</sup> and a [[Electrical Charge|charge]] of 1.60x10<sup>-19</sup>, made of 2 [[Up-quark]]s and 1 [[Down-quark]].
:*[[Neutron]] - A type of [[baryon]] with a [[mass]] of 1.67x10<sup>-27</sup> and zero [[Electrical Charge|charge]], made of 2 [[Down-quark]]s and 1 [[Up-quark]].
: There are many other [[baryon]]s made from different groups of [[quark]]s. However, these are unstable and exist only for very short periods of time before [[Radioactive Decay|decaying]] via the [[Weak Nuclear Interaction|weak nuclear interaction]] into other, most stable, [[Subatomic Particle|subatomic particles]].
: '''Baryons''' are affected by the:
:*[[Strong Nuclear Interaction]]
:*[[Weak Nuclear Interaction]]
:*[[Electromagnetic Interaction]]
:*[[Gravitational Interaction]]
