this isn't really a problem, just a question.
with baryons, what exactly is the difference between the different quark combonations?
for example, a proton had two up quarks and a down but so does the delta, or one of them, i guess. shouldn't that mean that they are the same particle?
how are they different?
none
the only thing i could thing of was the different order that the quarks are it, or a difference in spin. it wouldn't be a difference in charge, though, because the fractional charges in the quarks are what determines the charge of the whole particle, right?:grumpy:
