→Determining Baryon Composition
===Determining Baryon Composition===
''NB: You only need to memorise the names and [[quark]] composition of the [[proton]] and the [[neutron]]. However, you should be able to determine the [[quark]] composition given the [[Electrical Charge|charge]] and [[strangeness]] of a given [[baryon]] and by remembering the properties of the [[up-quark]], [[down-quark]] and [[strange-quark]].''
: '''Baryons''' can be shown in the following diagram:
