The main constituents of a proton or neutron are the quarks and gluons.

A proton consists of two up quarks and one down quark, the neutron on the other hand consists of two down quarks and one up quark.

Both particles also contain a cloud of gluons and through the uncertainty principle many other elementary particles can be found in there as well.

What subatomic particles are inside the nucleus of an atom?

answ2. Protons and neutrons are all. These may be divided into further parts, but that is beyond the question.


What subatomic particle is located inside the nucleus?

The centre of an atom is called the nucleus. The nucleus contains protons, which have a positive charge and neutrons which have no charge. Electrons are also subatomic particles but they go around the nucleus so they are not in the centre.

The three subatomic particles are: Neutrons Protons Electrons. The protons and neutrons are found in the nucleus of the atoms. The electrons are found in s, p, d and f orbitals of the energy levels which surround the nucleus.


Is an electron located inside the nucelus of an atom?

No. Electrons are located outside the nucleus. Protons and neutrons are located inside the nucleus.


What are the three subatomic particles in an atom?

The atom is composed of a nucleus surrounded by electrons (negative charge)rotating in orbits around the nucleus. The nucleus is composed of protons (positive charge) and neutrons (neutral charge). so the three main subatomic particles are: * Electrons in orbits around the nucleus of the atom * Protons (positively charged particles) in the nucleus * neutrons (neutrally charged particles) in the nucleus. Except for hydrogen that is having no neutrons.


What particle is found in the nucleus?

Atoms are conformed of three kinds of particles: neutrons, protons and electrons. The nucleus is conformed by protons and neutrons. Protons have a positive charge and neutrons have no charge.
