Hello;
My physics teacher asked me to name the combinations of quarks that could make up a proton and a neutron;
uud = proton
udd = neutron
But is that all? Does it have to be 2 up quarks and 1 down quark to make the proton? Why not 2 charm quarks and 1 strange quark, for example? Or 2 top and 1 bottom?
Thanks.
