The equation in the symbolic form can be written as,
[tex]\tau \;- > e- + {\bar{\nu }} e + \nu\tau[/tex]
The total number of quarks in a helium nucleus consisting of 2 protons and 2 neutrons is 12 quarks.
What is the meaning of lepton?
Any of a family of particles (such as electrons, muons, and neutrinos) that have spin quantum number ¹/₂ and that experience no strong forces.
The equation in the symbolic form can be written as,
[tex]\tau \;- > e- + {\bar{\nu }} e + \nu\tau[/tex]
Charge on the left side = -1
Charge on the right side = -1+0+0 = -1
As the charge on the electron antineutrino, [tex]{\bar{\nu }}[/tex] e and the tau neutrino, [tex]\nu\tau[/tex] are zero each.
Thus, charge on left side = charge on right side
Or, the equation is in accordance with charge conservation.
Lapton number of left side = 1
Laptop number of right side = 1-1+1 = 1
This is because, lapton number of the particles involved are,
Tau lapton, [tex]\tau[/tex]-1 = 1,
Electron, e-1 = 1,
Electron antineutrino, [tex]{\bar{\nu }}[/tex]e = -1,
Tau neutrino, [tex]\nu\tau[/tex]= 1,
Thus, lapton number of left side = lapton number of right side
So, the equation obeys lapton number conservation.

The total number quarks in a helium nucleus which is composed of 2 protons (positively charged particle) and 2 neutrons (uncharged particle) is:
Since there 3 quarks in each nucleon, 4 nucleons would have a total of 12 quarks.
Just simply multiply 3 quarks by the number of nucleons:
So, 3 (quarks) x 4 (nucleons) = 12 quarks
Therefore, there are 12 quarks in 4 nucleons.
