If you meant to ask what is a quark, it's one of the basic elementary particles in what physicists refer to as the Standard Model. Electrons and neutrinos, as well as certain other related particles called "leptons", are also elementary particles. Neutrons, protons, and other mesons and baryons are made of quarks. The force holding quarks together in baryons and mesons is called the strong force, and it is... strong, that is. It's the strongest known force in the universe, and its gauge particles (force carriers) are called gluons.
On the off chance you meant it exactly as written...
In the old science-fiction TV comedy Quark, the title character was played by Richard Benjamin. In Star Trek Deep Space 9, an entirely different character named Quark was played by Armin Shimerman.

If protons are positive and are made of two up quarks and one down quark why do neutrons have no charge but are made of two down quarks and one up quark?
The reason that protons are positive and neutrons have no charge is owed to the fact that quarks, which make up these particles, do not have integral charge. The charge of an up quark is +2/3, and the charge of a down quark is -1/3. When the charges of the quarks are added for the particles, we get the following: Proton = up quark + up quark + down quark = 2/3 + 2/3 - 1/3 = 4/3 - 1/3 = 3/3 = +1 Neutron = up quark + down quark + down quark = 2/3 - 1/3 - 1/3 = 2/3 - 2/3 = 0 (zero)
What is the name of the smallest particle of matter?
A quark is the smallest particle in matter.
Protons and neutrons can be subdivided into by colliding them?
A proton can be divided into 2 Ups and a Down quark, and a neutron into 2 Downs and an Up quark. In general the quark is the elementary particle from which protons and neutron are formed.
What matter is made of tiny bits called?
All matter to our understanding is made of very small things called atoms. These are neutral in charge with a nucleus containing protons and neutrons and outside there is electrons. These particles can further be split into things such as quarks. There includes many types of these and are strange quark, up quark, down quark, charm quark, bottom quark, and top quark. These all have values associated with them such as spin and charge.
