Are there quarks with a neutral change a predicted elementary subatomic particle?

1480 views

In leptons we have neutrino's with neutral charges. So there are + - and neutral muons.

In baryons and mesons there are + - quarks like charm / strange.

Are baryons predicted to have a neutral quark / quarks which we haven't detected yet (like in lepton family)?

No, no neutral quark(s) are predicted by the Standard Model.
