# Using the up, down and strange quarks only, construct, if possible, a baryon (a) with${\mathbit{q}}{\mathbf{=}}{\mathbf{+}}{\mathbf{1}}$ and strangeness ${\mathbit{S}}{\mathbf{=}}{\mathbf{-}}{\mathbf{2}}$and (b) with${\mathbit{q}}{\mathbf{=}}{\mathbf{+}}{\mathbf{2}}$ and strangeness, ${\mathbit{S}}{\mathbf{=}}{\mathbf{0}}$.

(a) There is no possible baryon.

(b) The baryon is . $uuu$

See the step by step solution

## Step 1: (a) A baryon with q=+1and strangeness,S=−2 .

There is no possible baryon by the use of up , down and strange quarks with$q=+1$ and strangeness$S=-2$ .

Hence, there is no possible baryon.

## Step 2: (b) A baryon withq=+2  and strangeness, S=0.

The possible baryon of three up quarks is the only which is with $q=+2$and strangeness, $S=0$.

Hence, the possible baryon is .$uuu$
