Quarks can actually vary greatly in size.
The most common types of Quarks are Up and Down (scientists are not the most creative when it comes to names) and they have the mass of about 1/400 and 1/200 (respectfully) the mass of a proton. But some quarks, like the Top quark (another uncreative name) has the mass of the entire Tunston atom.

What is the lifespan of a quark?
Different quarks last different amounts of time, but all of the six quarks can only last on their own for small fractions of a second.
Do quarks have mass?
Since all protons and neutrons are made of quarks and they have mass, quarks must have mass (in fact they do).
What are the names of the types of quarks in protons and neutrons?
Protons and neutrons are composite particles make up of up and down quarks. There are two up quarks and one down quark in a proton, and two down quarks and an up quark in a neutron.
How many types of quarks are there and what is the name of one of them?
There are 6 different types of quarks, named in pairs:Top, BottomStrange, CharmUp, Down0123qwerty0123But don't forget that all particles, besides force particles ( gravity-graviton, electromagnetism-photon, weak force-low guage boson, strong force-gluon ), have antimatter counterparts.Anti-top, Anti-bottomAnti-strange, Anti-charmAnti-up, Anti-down
How are quarks made?
While there are some hypothesis that quarks might be made up of smaller particles, there is no general consensus on this topic.
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 small particles are protons and neutrons composed of?
Quarks and gluons
What is the lifespan of a quark?
Different quarks last different amounts of time, but all of the six quarks can only last on their own for small fractions of a second.
How can quarks be visualised?
Most of the times, quarks are described like point-like particles. So small, they're nearly just points in space
What small subatomic particles are in the protons and neutrons?
The subatomic particles found in protons and neutrons are quarks. There are two types of quarks that combine to make either particle, up and down quarks. Protons are 2 ups and a down and neutrons are 2 downs and an up.
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.
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.
What are compounds broken into?
Quarks and anti-quarks
What are names for quarks?
There are six quarks, the up, down, charm, strange, top, and bottom quarks.
What is the name of the very small negatively charged particle found in the nucleus of an atom?
The small, negatively-charged particle in an atom is an electron. However, this is not in the nucleus. The small negative particles in the nucleus are down quarks, which are smaller than protons and electrons. Strange quarks and bottom quarks are also negative, but are not found in the nucleus.
What is contained in oxygen?
Up quarks Down quarks Bottom quarks Top Quarks Charm quarks Strange Quarks and then there were leptons... simple- 8 protons 8 electrons 8 Neutrons and if you're dumb and you mean what is in air, then why don't you learn how to google
How many quarks does aluminum have?
there are 7 quarks in aluminum
