A deuterium nucleus consists of one proton and one neutron. The quark composition of a deuterium nucleus is
A- 2 up quarks and one down quark
B- 2 up quarks and 4 down quarks
C- 3 up quarks and 3 down quarks
D -4 up quarks and 2 down quarks
The quark composition of a deuterium nucleus is 3 up quarks and 3 down quarks. Thus, option "C" is correct.
<h3>What is the composition of quark?</h3>
The quark composition of a deuterium nucleus is 3 up quarks and 3 down quarks. The overall charge of the deuterium nucleus is +1. Comparing the given overall charge to the chart of the Particles of the Standard Model, the overall charge can be determined from the combinations of the choices.
Thus, option "C" is correct.
