Protons are made up of small particles called quarks. More specificly, a proton is made up of 2 "up" quarks and 1 "down" quark. (note: 'up' and 'down' classify what kind of quark it is. Some other quarks are top, bottom, charm, and strange)

How many potons and netrons are in an atom?

An atom contains protons, neutrons, and electrons. The number of protons determines the element and is equal to the atomic number. Neutrons have no charge and contribute to the atomic mass. The number of protons and neutrons together make up the atomic mass of the atom.


How do you make a nucleus of the atomic structure of neon?

Neon, with an atomic number of 10, and an atomic mass of roughly 20, will require 10 protons, neutrons, and electrons. The protons and neutrons will be inside the nucleus, or the center of the atom. The electrons will be outside the nucleus in the electron cloud, where a first ring or level will hold 2 and the second will hold 8.


Are protons made in the nucleus?

Protons are not made in the nucleus. It is possible for neutrons to become protons and protons to neutrons due to radioactivity, but still, this does not mean they are "made".
