The corresponding hadron is $\Sigma^-$

Work Step by Step

The down quark $d$ has strangeness $0$, charge $-\frac{1}{3}$, and baryon number $+\frac{1}{3}$ The strange quark $s$ has strangeness $-1$, charge $-\frac{1}{3}$, and baryon number $+\frac{1}{3}$ The quark bundle $dds$ has net strangeness $-1$, net charge $-1$, and net baryon number $+1$ The corresponding hadron is $\Sigma^-$
