Protons are formed from quarks, which are fundamental particles. Specifically, a proton is composed of three quarks: two up quarks and one down quark, held together by the strong force mediated by gluons. During the early moments of the universe, quarks combined to form protons and neutrons as the universe cooled down after the Big Bang. This process is part of nucleosynthesis, where protons and neutrons later combine to form atomic nuclei.

Can proton exist independently in nature?

Protons are typically found within the nucleus of an atom, where they are bound by the strong nuclear force to neutrons. Protons can exist independently in the form of free protons, but they are unstable and tend to quickly capture an electron to form a hydrogen atom.
