Previous answer was 'electrons are made up of two down quarks.' They are not at all!
There is no scientific evidence for particles that make up electrons, but there is a theory of a particle that is called a "rishon." There would be T's, t's, V's, and v's. V and v would be antiparticles, but both neutral, and T and t would be antiparticles, T's having a charge of +1/3, and t's a charge of -1/3. Therefore an electron would be made of three t's. But, again, this is only a theory.

- Electrons
- Protons
- Neutrons
Protons and Neutrons are often thought as being made up of three Quarks each in different combinations.

In other words, it is a point particle. The is always just some uncertainty about its location.

A proton neutron and electron are in the nucleus of an atom?
yes they are what makes up the atom
What makes up most of the size of an atom?
Most of the mass is in the nucleus; most of the volume is in the electron "cloud".
What subatomic particles decide an element's behavior or chemical activity?
The subatomic particle you are asking about is the electron. There are other subatomic particles which make up the neutrons and protons, but they are not involved in chemical bonding. The only thing that makes up an electron is an electron, nothing else.
Are electrons always negatively charged?
No. An electron is a fundamental particle with a charge of -1 Coulomb. People say it's a fundamental particle because nobody knows what makes up an electron. Protons and Neutrons are made of quarks, but we can't smash an electron apart yet. A positive electron is called a positron, which is the anti-matter equivalent to an electron. The positron was the first evidence of anti-matter ever found.
What takes up most of the space of the atom?
The electron cloud or electron shell
What subatomic particle makes up electricity?
This is the electron.
A proton neutron and electron are in the nucleus of an atom?
yes they are what makes up the atom
What makes up most of the size of an atom?
Most of the mass is in the nucleus; most of the volume is in the electron "cloud".
What is the electron geometry of OF2?
Electron geometry for this is tetrahedral. There are two O-F single bonds, which makes 2 electron groups. There are two lone pairs around oxygen, which make up the last two electron groups. Molecules with four electron groups has a tetrahedral Electron geometry.

How does magnification occur in an electron microscope?
An electron beam makes the object become larger.
What elements make up wood?
Wood primarily contains cellulose, lignin, hemicellulose, and extractives. Cellulose gives wood its structure and strength, while lignin provides rigidity and resistance to decay. Hemicellulose acts as a bonding material between cellulose fibers, and extractives are non-structural compounds that can vary in content depending on the wood species.
What makes up respiration?
It occurs in three steps 1. Glycolysis, 2. Kerbs cycle, 3. Electron transport chain
What makes up an atom and how do they bond?
An atom is a nucleolus and an associated electron cloud. They bond by swapping OR sharing (valance or outer) electrons.
Does an excited electron move up or down an energy level?
The excited electron move up.
What makes up a chloride ion?
The chloride ion is Cl- (chlorine with a gained electron); these ions exist for example in water solutions of soluble chlorides.
What type of electron is available to form a bond?
In general, it is a valence electron that an atom makes available to form chemical bonds.
