The quark forces are attractive only in \"colorless\" combinations of three quarks (baryons), quark-antiquark pairs (mesons) and possibly larger combinations such as the pentaquark that could also meet the colorless condition.

Since quarks are [fermions](http://hyperphysics.phy-astr.gsu.edu/hbase/Particles/spinc.html#c2) with spin 1/2, they must obey the [Pauli exclusion principle](http://hyperphysics.phy-astr.gsu.edu/hbase/pauli.html#c2) and cannot exist in identical states. So with three strange quarks, the property which distinguishes them must be capable of at least three distinct values. \| \| \| \| \| [Table of quark properties](http://hyperphysics.phy-astr.gsu.edu/hbase/Particles/quark.html#c1) \| \| \| \| [Go Back](Javascript:history.go\(-1\)) \| \| \| \| \| [HyperPhysics](http://hyperphysics.phy-astr.gsu.edu/hbase/hph.html)\\\\\* [Quantum Physics](http://hyperphysics.phy-astr.gsu.edu/hbase/quacon.html#quacon) \| R Nave \| \| \| \| \|---\|---\| \| \| [Index](http://hyperphysics.phy-astr.gsu.edu/hbase/hframe.html) [Particle concepts](http://hyperphysics.phy-astr.gsu.edu/hbase/Particles/parcon.html) \| \| \| \| \| [Table of quark properties](http://hyperphysics.phy-astr.gsu.edu/hbase/Particles/quark.html#c1) \| \| \| \| [Go Back](Javascript:history.go\(-1\)) \| \| \| \| \| [HyperPhysics](http://hyperphysics.phy-astr.gsu.edu/hbase/hph.html)\\\\\* [Quantum Physics](http://hyperphysics.phy-astr.gsu.edu/hbase/quacon.html#quacon) \| R Nave \| \| \| \| \|---\|---\| \| \| [Index](http://hyperphysics.phy-astr.gsu.edu/hbase/hframe.html) [Particle concepts](http://hyperphysics.phy-astr.gsu.edu/hbase/Particles/parcon.html) Reference [Ladbury](http://hyperphysics.phy-astr.gsu.edu/hbase/quaref.html) [Top quark Wiki](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Top_quark) [![](http://hyperphysics.phy-astr.gsu.edu/hbase/Particles/imgpar/exlnk.gif) D-Zero](http://www.fnal.gov/) \| \| \| \| \| [Table of quark properties](http://hyperphysics.phy-astr.gsu.edu/hbase/Particles/quark.html#c1) \| \| \| \| [Go Back](Javascript:history.go\(-1\)) \| \| \| \| \| [HyperPhysics](http://hyperphysics.phy-astr.gsu.edu/hbase/hph.html)\\\\\* [Quantum Physics](http://hyperphysics.phy-astr.gsu.edu/hbase/quacon.html#quacon) \| R Nave \| \| \| \| \|---\|---\| \| \| [Index](http://hyperphysics.phy-astr.gsu.edu/hbase/hframe.html) [Particle concepts](http://hyperphysics.phy-astr.gsu.edu/hbase/Particles/parcon.html) Reference [Rohlf](http://hyperphysics.phy-astr.gsu.edu/hbase/quaref.html) Sec 6-6 \| \| \| \| \| [Evidence for quarks in deep inelastic scattering](http://hyperphysics.phy-astr.gsu.edu/hbase/nuclear/scatele.html#c1) \| \| \| \| [Go Back](Javascript:history.go\(-1\)) \| \| \| \| \| [HyperPhysics](http://hyperphysics.phy-astr.gsu.edu/hbase/hph.html)\\\\\* [Quantum Physics](http://hyperphysics.phy-astr.gsu.edu/hbase/quacon.html#quacon) \| R Nave \| \| \| \| \|---\|---\| \| \| [Index](http://hyperphysics.phy-astr.gsu.edu/hbase/hframe.html) [Particle concepts](http://hyperphysics.phy-astr.gsu.edu/hbase/Particles/parcon.html) Reference [Rohlf](http://hyperphysics.phy-astr.gsu.edu/hbase/quaref.html) Ch. 17 [Bottom quark Wiki](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bottom_quark) [CP Violation Wiki](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CP_violation) \| \| \| \| \| [Table of quark properties](http://hyperphysics.phy-astr.gsu.edu/hbase/Particles/quark.html#c1) \| \| \| \| [Go Back](Javascript:history.go\(-1\)) \| \| \| \| \| [HyperPhysics](http://hyperphysics.phy-astr.gsu.edu/hbase/hph.html)\\\\\* [Quantum Physics](http://hyperphysics.phy-astr.gsu.edu/hbase/quacon.html#quacon) \| R Nave \|
