Which of the following is not a
type of quark? (A) Up, (B) bottom, (C) strange,
(D) left, or (E) down.
Quarks are a type of fundamental
particle. Quarks combine to make other
particles, like the proton and neutron. There are six types of quarks,
which are called flavors. The different flavors of quarks are
up, down, charm, strange, top, and bottom. This question asked us to identify
which answer choice was not of type or flavor of quark. Looking through our answer choices,
we’ll see that though many of the quarks have directional names, left is not one of
them.
