The flavor of quark that has a charge of −1/3, has a mass about 8,220 times that of an electron, and belongs to the third generation of elementary fermions. 5, record 1, English, - bottom%20quark
Record number: 1, Textual support number: 1 CONT
Bottom quarks are not stable and quickly decay, mostly to charm quarks and W- bosons. In their short lifetime, they are part of some baryons and mesons. Due to their high mass, bottom quarks are relatively easy to research in experiments. A bottom quark is slightly heavier than a helium atom. 6, record 1, English, - bottom%20quark
