There are quarks in the nucleus of an atom, but they are found there because quarks make up protons and neutrons which make up atomic nuclei. They (quarks) do not have "individual identities" in the nucleus of an atom, but are elementary particles that are the building blocks of composite particles called hadrons. Quarks are never found in isolation anywhere.

How many quarks in electron?

The electron is considered to be an elementary particle and not composed of other particles, so there are no quarks in an electron. Particles composed of quarks are called Hadrons, the best-known being the Proton and the Neutron. The electron, on the other hand, is a Lepton.


What makes hydrogen?

The majority of hydrogen was believed to have been made during the big bang. So genesis makes hydrogen. It is made from smaller particles known as quarks. Two up quarks and one down quark make a proton. Best source of hydrogen for us would be in water. Through a process called electrolysis we could obtain hydrogen.

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.


How many quarks are in a normal water molecule?

One normal water molecule has 2 protons plus the quantity of 8 protons and 8 neutrons. That it is a total of 18 nucleons. As all nucleons have 3 valence quarks, then there are 54 quarks in 1 normal water molecule.
