The quark! A proton is made of two Up quarks and one Down quark. The Up quark has a charge +(2/3)*e and the Down quark has a charge -(1/3)*e; where 'e' is the elementary charge of the electron. Since we know that a proton has a net charge of +e it must mean that a proton is +(2/3)*e+(2/3)*e-(1/3)*e = +(4/3)*e-(1/3)*e = +(3/3)*e = +(1)*e = +e

Can you spilt a proton in half?

No, a proton cannot be split in half. Protons are fundamental particles, which means they are not made up of smaller components that can be divided further. Splitting a proton would require a tremendous amount of energy that is currently beyond our technological capabilities.
