  2. Quark model - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quark_model

    In particle physics, the quark model is a classification scheme for hadrons in terms of their valence quarks—the quarks and antiquarks that give rise to the quantum numbers of the hadrons. The quark model underlies "flavor SU(3)" , or the Eightfold Way , the successful classification scheme organizing the large number of lighter hadrons that ...

  3. Eightfold way (physics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eightfold_way_(physics)

    Those 8 dimensions correspond to the 8 particles in the so-called "baryon octet" (proton, neutron, Σ +, Σ 0, Σ −, Ξ −, Ξ 0, Λ). This corresponds to an 8-dimensional ("octet") representation of the group SU(3). Since A is an approximate symmetry, all the particles in this octet have similar mass. [8]

  4. Octet rule - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Octet_rule

    The bonding in carbon dioxide (CO 2): all atoms are surrounded by 8 electrons, fulfilling the octet rule. The octet rule is a chemical rule of thumb that reflects the theory that main-group elements tend to bond in such a way that each atom has eight electrons in its valence shell, giving it the same electronic configuration as a noble gas.

  5. Octet (music) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Octet_(music)

    American new wave band Oingo Boingo was an octet for most of its 17-year history, with 5 members in traditional rock music roles (Vocals/Rhythm Guitar, Lead Guitar, Bass, Drums, Keyboard) plus a 3 person horn section. British pop group the Dooleys were an eight-member group popular in the late 1970s and early 1980s.

  6. Noble gas - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Noble_gas

    In 1916, Gilbert N. Lewis formulated the octet rule, which concluded an octet of electrons in the outer shell was the most stable arrangement for any atom; this arrangement caused them to be unreactive with other elements since they did not require any more electrons to complete their outer shell.

    Also in 2016, Quizlet launched "Quizlet Live", a real-time online matching game where teams compete to answer all 12 questions correctly without an incorrect answer along the way. [15] In 2017, Quizlet created a premium offering called "Quizlet Go" (later renamed "Quizlet Plus"), with additional features available for paid subscribers.

  8. Color charge - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Color_charge

    Color charge is a property of quarks and gluons that is related to the particles' strong interactions in the theory of quantum chromodynamics (QCD). Like electric charge, it determines how quarks and gluons interact through the strong force; however, rather than there being only positive and negative charges, there are three "charges", commonly called red, green, and blue.

  9. Octet (computing) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Octet_(computing)

    The octet is a unit of digital information in computing and telecommunications that consists of eight bits. The term is often used when the term byte might be ambiguous, as the byte has historically been used for storage units of a variety of sizes. The term octad(e) for eight bits is no longer common.
