Quantum numbers are a set of properties that describe the fundamental particles called quarks. These numbers determine the quark's properties such as mass, spin, and charge.
There are four quantum numbers for quarks: color charge, electric charge, baryon number, and spin.
Quantum numbers play a crucial role in determining the behavior of quarks. They dictate how quarks interact with each other and with other particles, as well as how they are affected by external forces.
No, quantum numbers cannot be changed. These numbers are intrinsic properties of quarks and remain constant throughout their existence.
Quantum numbers are used to classify different types of quarks, also known as flavors. Each flavor has a unique combination of quantum numbers, which distinguish them from one another.
