So here it is...
Subatomic Particles Vocab:
Proton: A stable subatomic particle that has enough positive charge to balance out an electron's negative charge that occurs in the nucleus of an atom.
Electron: A stable subatomic particle, similar to a proton, but with opposite charge (negative). Primary carrier of electricity in solids.
Neutron: A stable subatomic particle that has no charge, it holds the nucleus together. In every atom except regular hydrogen. The addition of neutron will create a new isotope of an element.
Composite Particle: A composite particle is a particle made up of multiple elementary particles, protons are an example of a composite particle made up of multiple quarks. Paraphrased from: http://www.thefreedictionary.com/composite+particle
Hadron: Hadrons are a type of strongly bonded composite particles and are divided into two groups mesons and baryons. Hadrons are a combination of the charges of quarks and have no color, even though individual quarks do. Reference: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hadron and http://www.particleadventure.org/hadrons.html
Mesons: Mesons are Hadrons with one quarks and one anti quark.
Baryons: Baryons are Hadrons that have three quarks. Protons (up,up, down or uud) and neutrons (down, down, up or udd) are examples of Baryons. http://www.particleadventure.org/hadrons.html
