There are 6 different flavors of quarks. They are called up, down, strange, charm, top, and bottom. Their charges are +2/3, -1/3, -1/3, +2/3, -1/3, and +2/3 respectively.

Why there is no charge on neutron?
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.
How many different quarks are there in Chemistry?
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.
What subatomic particles are made of quarks?
Protons and neutrons contain quarks.
Why quarks do not exist in free state?
Actually quarks can exist freely.
What do neutrons consist of?
Neutrons consist of small particles, called "Quarks". Protons also consist of quarks, but what quarks is made of, is still not discovered.
What causes the charges in atomic particles?
arrangement of leptons and quarks in sub atomic particle causes charges in then.
Which subatomic particles are attracted to each other?
Protons, which have positive charge, attract electrons, which have negative charge. Also, quarks with positive charge attract quarks with negative charge. (Actually, it is this electric charge which defines the properties of the particle they make up. A proton has more quarks with positive charges than with negative charges, for example.)
Do protons repel protons in the nucleus of the cell if yes then how does the nucleus and atom stay and do not disintegrate?
protons and neutrons are both made of quarks each with their own +'ve and -'ve charges, at the close proximity that protons and neutrons are found their overall charges are no longer in effect it's the charges of the quarks within them that affect attraction and repulsion
Paticles with unlike charges?
Electron (-) and positron (+). Proton (+) and antiproton (-). Muon (-) and antimuon (+). up, charm, and top quarks (+2/3) and down, strange and bottom quarks (-1/3).
How many quarks have been found to exist?
There are six types of quarks, with three "color charges" each. There are the up, the down, the charm, the strange, the top, and the bottom quarks, each with a "red" charge, a "blue" charge, or a "green" charge. If you want to count antimatter, then there are six antiquarks, each with "anticolor charges." The anticolors are Antigreen, antired, and antiblue. These are each represented by cyan, yellow, and magenta. So, counting antimatter and color charge, there are 36 quarks.
Quarks are held together by the strong nuclear force but how do gluons come into the picture. Heard stuff like gluons being emitted and absorbed and something about their colour. Please enlighten.?
Quarks, in addition to being of a specific flavour also have a colour charge. Types of colour charges for quarks are as follows: red, green and blue, and antired, antigreen and antiblue for antiquarks. Gluons not only meditate the strong interaction, but they also participate in it due to the fact that they also have colour charges of their own. They are constantly being emitted and absorbed by quarks inside each hadron. That often contributes to the fact that quarks can change colours. There are 8 types of gluons; their colour charges can be thought as if they were mixes of the 6 colours.
Does a neutron have both positive and negative charges?
A neutron has no electric charge. However, it is made up of smaller particles (quarks), which have both positive and negative charges. The total sum of all these charges, in the case of a neutron, is zero.
What sub atomic particles has a negative charge?
Electrons, down quarks, strange quarks, bottom quarks, muon lepton, and tau lepton all have negative charge. Also, the boson can be negative.

What like magnet poles do?
Like magnetic poles (or like electric charges) push away from each other. The same also happens with like color charges of the quarks.

Is a quark in a nucleus of an atom?
Hadrons 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.
