Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

Which of the following particles is not a baryon?
  • Step 1: Understand what a baryon is. A baryon is a type of particle made up of three smaller particles called quarks.
  • Step 2: Learn about mesons. Mesons are another type of particle, but they are made up of one quark and one antiquark.
  • Step 3: Identify the particles in the question. Look for the particle that is not made of three quarks.
  • Step 4: Recognize that pions are mesons because they consist of one quark and one antiquark.
  • Step 5: Conclude that since pions are mesons, they are not baryons.
