What experiment led to the development of the quark model?

  • Double-slit

  • Cat in the box

  • Deep inelastic scattering of electrons on protons and bound neutrons

  • Big bang

Answer

Deep inelastic scattering of electrons on protons and bound neutrons led to the development of the quark model. This is because the results of this experiment showed that the proton is not a point particle, but rather is made up of smaller particles called quarks. The quark model was developed to explain these results.
