The quark, which is a fundamental particle, makes up a composite particle called a hadron. The hadron could be considered the "home" of the quark. There are two types of hadrons, and they are the baryon and the meson. The two best know hadrons are probably protons and neutrons. Protons and neutrons, the "building blocks" of the atomic nucleus, are types of baryons.

Protons and neutrons are made of what?
Protons and neutrons are made from smaller substances called Quarks. A proton is made from 2 "Up quarks" and 1"Down quark" whereas a neutron is made from 2 "Down quarks" and 1 "Up quark".
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.
What are valence quarks?
The quarks which determine the quantum numbersof hadrons are called valence quarks; apart from these, any hadron may contain an indefinite number of virtual (or sea) quarks, antiquarks, and gluons which do not influence its quantum numbers.[11]There are two families of hadrons: baryons, with three valence quarks, and mesons, with a valence quark and an antiquark.[12]The most common baryons are the proton and the neutron, the building blocks of the atomic nucleus
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).
Particle found in nucleus?
The main constituents of the nucleus are protons and neutrons, but each of these is made up of smaller particles known as quarks.
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 are Protons and Neutrons called when they are made up of smaller particles?
in particle physics protons and neutrons fall into the category of baryons which are made up of quarks
What are the particles that may be the building blocks of protons and neutrons called?
up-quarks and down-quarks
What are the particles in a proton called?
They are Quarks. A Proton Consits of 3 Quarks, comprising of 2 "Up" Quarks and 1 "Down" Quark. "Up" Quarks have a charge of 2/3, and "Down" Quarks have a charge of -1/3, hence the charge on a proton on +1. Similarly a Neutron Consists on 3 Quarks, 1 "Up" and 2 "Down" hence 0 charge.
Protons and neutrons are made of what?
Protons and neutrons are made from smaller substances called Quarks. A proton is made from 2 "Up quarks" and 1"Down quark" whereas a neutron is made from 2 "Down quarks" and 1 "Up quark".
Smallest paticle on earth?
The smallest particles on earth are called quarks. Quarks are the fundamental particles that make neutrons and protons in atoms.
It is theorized that protons and nuetrons are actuall formed from a combination of smaller particles what are these particles called?
These particles are called quarks. (Protons made up of two up quarks and a down quark, neutrons made up of two down quarks and an up quark.)
Are distant objects in space called quarks or quasars?
quasars
How are quarks related to protons and neutrons?
The quark has a neutron and proton stuck on it in the nucleus, which is related to the isotope. But for the subatomic particle, it is in it! All quarks are subatomic particles but not all subatomic particles are quarks
What are quraks?
An atom can be divided too. The parts that it forms are called quarks.
How do particles found inside the nucleus of an atom called?
At the subatomic level, particles in the nucleus of an atom are called protons and neutrons. At the sub-subatomic level, they are called quarks, which form hadrons.The hadrons are groups of quarks, held together by the strong interaction. Three quarks form the baryons, the best examples of which are the proton and the neutron. Two quarks form the mesons, the best examples of which are the pion and the kaon. There are many more hadrons than these.
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.
