multiple select question select all that apply which statements about the sixth quark are true? scientists were surprised when they found evidence for the sixth quark. it took several years and an international team of nearly 450 scientists to find the sixth quark. scientists discovered five quarks and hypothesized that a sixth quark existed. the sixth quark was hard to detect because only about one - billionth of a percent of the proton collisions performed showed its need help? review these concept resources. read about the concept

Explanation:

Quarks are fundamental particles. The discovery of the sixth quark was a significant event. Scientists were indeed surprised by evidence of it. It took years and a large - scale international team to find it. They had previously discovered five quarks and hypothesized the sixth. Its rarity (only showing up in a tiny fraction of proton collisions) made it hard to detect.

Answer:

Scientists were surprised when they found evidence for the sixth quark.
It took several years and an international team of nearly 450 scientists to find the sixth quark.
Scientists discovered five quarks and hypothesized that a sixth quark existed.
The sixth quark was hard to detect because only about one - billionth of a percent of the proton collisions performed showed it.
