You'll have to answer these questions in order.

  1. What three quarks are make up the negative omega?
  2. If the negative omega has a charge of -1, what must the charge on a strange quark be?
  3. What three quarks form the negative xi?
  4. If the negative xi has a charge of -1, what must the charge on a down quark be?
  5. What three quarks are in the neutral xi?
  6. If the neutral xi has zero charge, what must the charge on an up quark be?
  7. The positive pion is made of an up quark and an anti-down quark. What is the charge on an anti-down quark if the charge on a positive pion is +1?
  8. What two quarks are in the positive kaon?
  9. If the charge on a positive kaon is +1, what is charge on an anti-strange quark?
  10. The anti-lambda is formed by an anti-up, an anti-down, and an anti-strange quark. What is the charge on an anti-down quark if the charge on the anti-lambda is zero?
