Composition: Baryons are composed of three quarks. Quarks are elementary particles and fundamental constituents of matter.

Types of Quarks: Baryons can be made from different combinations of three types of quarks:

• Up quarks (u)
• Down quarks (d)
• Strange quarks (s) (and others in more complex baryons)

Baryon Number: Baryons have a baryon number of +1. This means that for every baryon present in a system, the baryon number increases by one.

Mass and Stability: Baryons are generally heavier than other particles like mesons, which are made of one quark and one antiquark. Some baryons, like protons and neutrons, are stable and make up atomic nuclei, while others can be unstable and decay into lighter particles.
