Yes, quarks carry a charge. They carry a charge of either +2/3 or -1/3 depending on which quark we consider.
Neutrons have no charge because they are made up of smaller particles, called quarks, which carry fractional charges that, when combined, add up to zero. There is one up quark and two down quarks in a neutron. The up quark has a fractional elementary charge of +2/3 while each down quark's charges are -1/3. If you add those charges up, +2/3 - 1/3 - 1/3, you get zero.
Quantum Chromodynamics, which is best explained by quarks having a property called color charge. The three colors are red, blue, and green; all particles constituted of quarks must be color neutral.
The proton, neutron and electron are the three subatomic particles. Protons and neutrons are formed from quarks and gluons. The proton and neutron carry a (nearly) identical mass. m_p = 1.673 * 10^-27 kilograms m_n = 1.675 * 10^-27 kilograms while the electron is considerably smaller and much less massive. m_e = 9.110 * 10^-31 kilograms For those unfamiliar with scientific notation, those numbers are: m_p = .000000000000000000000000001673 kg m_n = .000000000000000000000000001675 kg m_e = .000000000000000000000000000000911 kg Protons carry a positive electric charge while electrons carry an equal and opposite negative charge. Neutrons are electrically neutral.
In an atom, the neutrons and protons are made up of up quarks and down quarks. Strange quarks, charms quarks, top quarks, and bottom quarks also exist, but do not play as much of a role in the structure of an atom.
Hadrons, examples of which are protons and neutrons, are made up of different combinations of the six "flavors" of quarks, which are up, down, strange, charm, top and bottom. Each quark has a different mass and either has a charge of +2/3 or -1/3. All quarks have a 1/2 spin. Leptons are categorized into six sections: electrons, muons, taus, tau neutrinos, electron neutrinos, and muon neutrinos. All of the leptons have a 1/2 spin, with the neutrinos having a charge of 0 and the other three having a charge of -1. Basically, as the Standard Theory states, that all matter is made up of combinations of quarks and leptons with the various types of force particles.
A neutron carries no net electric charge since it is made up of three quarks: two down quarks and one up quark. The combination of these quarks results in a neutral overall charge for the neutron.
yes, either +2/3 or -1/3
All quarks are charged (electrically; they also carry a "color charge"). Some of them have a negative charge and some of them have a positive charge. So I guess the answer is "no."
A neutron is a subatomic particle that does not have an electric charge. It is found in the nucleus of an atom along with protons, which have a positive charge, and electrons, which have a negative charge.
Yes, protons are composed of three quarks - two "up" quarks and one "down" quark. The up quarks have a positive charge of +2/3 each, and the down quark has a negative charge of -1/3, resulting in a net charge of +1 for the proton.
Neutrons do not carry an electric charge, they are electrically neutral. They are composed of one up quark and two down quarks, which cancel out each other's charges, resulting in a neutral particle.
The Top, Charm, and Up quarks have +2/3 of an 'elementary' charge. The Bottom, Strange, and Down quarks have -1/3 of an 'elementary' charge.
The neutron has no net charge. It is made of 2 down quarks (building block for neutrons, electrons and protons) and 1 up quarks. an up quark has a charge of +2/3 of an elementary charge (charge of a single proton), and a down quarks has a charge of -1/3. If you add it up, there is no charge.

A lambda particle, specifically the lambda baryon (Λ baryon), is electrically neutral, meaning it has a charge of 0. It is a type of baryon composed of three quarks: one up quark and two strange quarks (uds). Despite having mass and participating in strong interactions, it does not carry any electric charge.

To make a proton, which has a charge of +1, you would need two up quarks (each with a charge of +2/3) and one down quark (with a charge of -1/3) since the total charge of a proton is the sum of the charges of its constituent quarks.
