The chiral constituent quark model (𝜒 CQM) with general parametrization (GP) method has been formulated to calculate the quadrupole moments of the spin $-\dfrac{3}{2}^{+}$ decuplet baryons and spin $-\dfrac{3}{2}^{+} \rightarrow \dfrac{1}{2}^{+}$ transitions. The implications of such a model have been investigated in detail for the effects of symmetry breaking and GP parameters pertaining to the two- and three-quark contributions. It is found that the 𝜒CQM is successful in giving a quantitative and qualitative description of the quadrupole moments.

The charge radii of the spin-$\dfrac{1}{2}^{+}$ octet and spin-$\dfrac{3}{2}^{+}$ decuplet baryons have been calculated in the framework of chiral constituent quark model ($\chi$ CQM) using a general parametrization method (GPM). Our results are not only comparable with the latest experimental studies but also agree with other phenomenological models. The effects of $SU(3)$ symmetry breaking pertaining to the strangeness contribution and GPM parameters pertaining to the one-, two- and three-quark contributions have also been investigated in detail and are found to be the key parameters in understanding the non-zero values for the neutral octet $(n, \sum^{0}, \Xi, \Lambda)$ and decuplet $(\Lambda^{0}, \sum^{*0}, \Xi^{*0})$ baryons.

We calculate the generalized parton distributions (GPDs) for the up- and downquarks in nucleon using the effective light-front wavefunction. The results obtained for GPDs in momentum and impact parameter space are comparable with phenomenological parametrization methods.
