=== Table of properties === {{See also|Flavour (particle physics)}} The following table summarizes the key properties of the six quarks. [[Flavour quantum numbers|Flavor quantum numbers]] ([[isospin]] (''I''<sub>3</sub>), [[Charm (quantum number)|charm]] (''C''), [[strangeness]] (''S'', not to be confused with spin), [[topness]] (''T''), and [[bottomness]] (''B''β²)) are assigned to certain quark flavors, and denote qualities of quark-based systems and hadrons. The [[baryon number]] (''B'') is +{{sfrac|1|3}} for all quarks, as baryons are made of three quarks. For antiquarks, the electric charge (''Q'') and all flavor quantum numbers (''B'', ''I''<sub>3</sub>, ''C'', ''S'', ''T'', and ''B''β²) are of opposite sign. Mass and [[total angular momentum]] (''J''; equal to spin for point particles) do not change sign for the antiquarks. {| class="wikitable" style="margin: 0 auto; text-align:center" |+'''Quark flavor properties'''<ref name=PDGQuarks> {{cite journal |author1=K.
