Quizplus · Accepted Answer

- The n contains udd quarks. - The π° contains u and ū quarks, which cancel each other out, leaving only a d quark. - The K⁺ contains s and u quarks. - The Σ⁻ must have one u quark and two additional quarks to give a total charge of -1. Therefore, it can be composed of two d quarks and one s quark (dds).
