A deuterium nucleus consists of one proton and
one neutron. The quark composition of a
deuterium nucleus is
(1) 2 up quarks and 2 down quarks
(2) 2 up quarks and 4 down quarks
(3) 3 up quarks and 3 down quarks
(4) 4 up quarks and 2 down quarks



Sagot :

A proton consists of 2 up quarks and 1 down quark.
A neutron consists of 1 up quark and 2 down quarks.

A deuterium nucleus consists of one proton and one neutron, so its quark composition is (3) 3 up quarks and 3 down quarks.
