Quark model
= Quark model
{wiki}
Ordinary <baryons> have three valence <quarks>, and ordinary <mesons> have a <quark> and an <antiquark>. Additive quantum numbers such as <electric charge>, <baryon number> and <strangeness> are sums of constituent values. This valence description organizes <flavor symmetry> multiplets while allowing sea constituents and gluons.
