===About Baryons===
: '''Baryons''' include:
:*[[Proton]] - A type of [[baryon]] with a [[mass]] of 1.67x10<sup>-27</sup> kg and a [[Electrical Charge|charge]] of 1.60x10<sup>-19</sup>[[Coulomb]]s, made of 2 [[Up-quark]]s and 1 [[Down-quark]].:*[[Neutron]] - A type of [[baryon]] with a [[mass]] of 1.67x10<sup>-27</sup> kg 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:
:*[[Electromagnetic Interaction]]
:*[[Gravitational Interaction]]

===Determining Baryon Composition===
Since <math>-1 = -\frac{1}{3} + -\frac{1}{3} -\frac{1}{3}</math>
Therefore <math>Ξ^- = s + d s + d</math>
Xi Baryon = sddssd
