About Quarks
:*[[Down-quark]] (d) - With a [[Electrical Charge|charge]] of <math>-\frac{1}{3}</math>[[Elementary Charge|e]], two of which are found in a [[neutron]] and one of which is found in a [[proton]].
:*[[Strange-quark]] (s) - With a [[Electrical Charge|charge]] of <math>-\frac{1}{3}</math>[[Elementary Charge|e]] which [[Radioactive Decay|decays]] quickly via the [[Weak Nuclear Interaction|weak interaction]] into a [[down-quark]].
(The following are not on all A-level syllabi)
:*[[Top-quark]] (t) - With a [[Electrical Charge|charge]] of <math>+\frac{2}{3}</math>[[Elementary Charge|e]] which [[Radioactive Decay|decays]] quickly via the [[Weak Nuclear Interaction|weak interaction]].
:*[[Bottom-quark]] (b) - With a [[Electrical Charge|charge]] of <math>-\frac{1}{3}</math>[[Elementary Charge|e]] which [[Radioactive Decay|decays]] quickly via the [[Weak Nuclear Interaction|weak interaction]].
