Physics Flashcards
What is Avogadro’s constant?
6.022x10^23
What is the mass of a proton or neutron?
1.67x10^-27kg (3)
What is the mass of an electron?
9.11x10^-31kg
What is the charge of an electron or proton?
1.6x10^-19J
What are all the different types of particles?
HADRONS, baryons, mesons, LEPTONS
What is the difference between Hadrons and Leptons?
Hadrons are made up of quarks, leptons are not as they are fundamental particles
Give 2 examples of baryons?
Protons and neutrons
Give 2 examples of mesons?
Pions and Kaons
How are particles classified as baryons or mesons?
Baryons are made up from 3 quarks whereas Mesons are made up from a quark anti-quark pair which makes them less stable and allows them to decay into fundamental particles
Give 2 examples of leptons?
Electrons, positrons, muons, neutrinos and anti-neutrinos
