Wikipedia
Baryon number
In particle physics, the baryon number is a strictly conserved additive quantum number of a system. It is defined as B = 1 3 ( n q − n q ¯ ) , {\displaystyle B={\frac {1}{3}}\left(n_{\text{q}}-n_{\bar {\text{q}}}\right),} where nq is the number of quarks, and nq is the number of antiquarks. Baryons (three quarks) have a baryon number of +1, mesons (one quark, one antiquark) have a baryon number of 0, and antibaryons (three antiquarks) have a baryon number of −1. Exotic hadrons like pentaquarks (four quarks, one antiquark) and tetraquarks (two quarks, two antiquarks) are also classified as baryons and mesons depending on their baryon number.

baryon number
The baryon number is a quantum number in particle physics that characterizes the nature of a particle. It is defined as one-third the difference between the number of quarks and anti-quarks in a particle. All baryons (including protons and neutrons) have a baryon number of +1, all anti-baryons have a baryon number of -1, and non-baryonic particles (such as leptons and photons) have a baryon number of 0. The total baryon number of a system is conserved in all interactions, meaning it doesn't change over time.

Baryon number
In particle physics, the baryon number is an approximate conserved quantum number of a system. It is defined as where nq is the number of quarks, and nq is the number of antiquarks. Baryons have a baryon number of +1, mesons a baryon number of 0, and antibaryons have a baryon number of −1. Exotic hadrons like pentaquarks and tetraquarks are also classified as baryons and mesons depending on their baryon number.
