There are quarks in the nucleus of an atom, but they are found there because quarks make up protons and neutrons which make up atomic nuclei. They (quarks) do not have "individual identities" in the nucleus of an atom, but are elementary particles that are the building blocks of composite particles called hadrons. Quarks are never found in isolation anywhere.

∙ 13y agoYes, hydrogen has quarks in it, just like all of the elements of the period table. In general, atoms are composed of protons, neutrons, and electrons. A proton is made from two up quarks and a down quark, and a neutron is made up of two down quarks and an up quark. As all atoms have at least one proton, it can be said that there are quarks in atoms.

∙ 10y agoThere are two types of fundamental atomic particles Hadrons and Leptons, hadrons composed of quarks as proton and neutron, leptons are themselves fundamental particles and are indivisible, electron is a lepton and not the quark.
In theoretical physics the quark-lepton complementarity theory (QLC) suggests that there is a symmetry between quarks and leptons, making them variants of the same fundamental particle. This theory is able to reproduce the standard model of particle physics at low energies, though at present there is no definitive proof of the theory.

∙ 13y agoYes, a quark is smaller than an atom. Much smaller. Quarks are fundamental particles, and three quarks make up protons and neutrons, which in turn make up atoms.

∙ 11y agoHadrons are composed of 3 quarks. Protons and neutrons are hadrons. The 2 types of quarks used in this instance are up quarks and down quarks. Yes, there are quarks in a nucleus.

∙ 12y agoNo, Electrons are called Leptons, and Quarks are different than Leptons. Look up the STANDARD MODEL OF PARTICLE PHYSICS. im sure it will help you.

∙ 12y agoMost atoms of hydrogen have one proton, and that proton consists of three quarks.

What makes up hydrogen?
Hydrogen is not made up of other elements, it is a pure element. However it is made up of protons, neutrons and electrons. These components are in turn made up of even smaller particles such as quarks.
How is hydrogen created?
Shortly after the Big Bang (10^-6sec) quarks combined to form protons and neutrons. A proton is made up of two up quarks and one down quark. An electron is built from a electronic lepton, which is one of the first generation of elementary particles. 300000 years after the big bang an electron combined with a proton creating a protium ( the most common isotope of hydrogen).
How many quarks in a grain of sand?
There are 3 quarks in each neutron. There are 12 neutrons in each proton. There is 1 proton in each atom. There is 36 quarks in each atom. There are about 27 million atoms in each grain of sand. 36 x 27,000,000 = 972,000,000. There are 972 million quarks in a grain of sand.
How many quark does fluorine have?
The fluorine atom has 9 protons and 10 neutrons, one of these particle contains 3 quarks so total quarks are 19 x 3 = 57
How many product atoms are there in hydrogen?
Hydrogen itself IS an atom.
What does hydrogen ions split into?
A hydrogen ion, (a proton to be more specific) splits into quarks.
How many quarks does aluminum have?
there are 7 quarks in aluminum
What makes hydrogen?
The majority of hydrogen was believed to have been made during the big bang. So genesis makes hydrogen. It is made from smaller particles known as quarks. Two up quarks and one down quark make a proton. Best source of hydrogen for us would be in water. Through a process called electrolysis we could obtain hydrogen.
How many quarts do a proton have?
3 they have 2 up quarks and 1 down quarks (yes its quarks not quarts) :D
How many up quarks and down quarks do protons have?
A proton is made up of two up quarks and one down quark.
How many up quarks are in nuclide 3-1 h?
6 up quarks
How many quarks are there and what is the name of one of them?
Six quarks: Up and down ; Charm and Strange; Top and Bottom.
How many quarks are in protons and neutrons?
Protons and neutrons, like all hadrons, are comprised of three quarks each.
How many types of quarks are there and what is the name of one them?
Six quarks: Up and down ; Charm and Strange; Top and Bottom.
How many up and down quarks are in one proton?
There are two up quarks and one down quark in a proton.
How many types of quarks there and what is the name of one of them?
Six quarks: Up and down ; Charm and Strange; Top and Bottom.
What are protons equavalent to?
Protons are equivalent to a couple of things, one of which you may not be aware of. First of all, they are equivalent to the nucleus of a hydrogen atom. Additionally, they are equivalent to two up quarks plus one down quark. Why? Because quarks are the fundamental particles that comprise both protons and neutrons, and the combination of quarks written above is what makes up protons.
