What is another word for baryon number?
Pronunciation: [bˈɑːɹɪən nˈʌmbə] (IPA) 
Baryon number refers to a property that distinguishes baryons, such as protons and neutrons, from other particles. If the baryon number is +1 for a particle, it means that it is a baryon. However, there are several other ways to describe this property. One synonym for baryon number is baryonic charge, which is the charge of the particle divided by the elementary charge of an electron. Another synonym is strangeness, which is a measure of the difference between the number of strange quarks and anti-strange quarks in a particle. In some contexts, quark number or flavor number may also be used as synonyms for baryon number.
