Protons and neutrons are made up of three quarks.

    Quarks are many subatomic particles carrying a
    fractional electric charge that are building blocks of the hadrons. 2. Quarks have not been directly observed but predicted based on their existence and have been confirmed experimentally.
    A quark is a fast-moving point of energy. Quarks are the constituents of composite particles labeled as hadrons. The proton and neutron are prime examples. Protons and neutrons are made up of three quarks. Protons and neutrons are composed of two types of quarks: up quarks and down quarks. There are several varieties of quarks. Two quarks make up a meson. A baryon composed of three up quarks is known as the delta particle. There are many quarks and gluons in each proton, but they average out to three quarks overall. Different quark flavors exist, and when you put them together in threes with additional possible angular momentum and radial excitations, you get the observed hadron states. Hadron states that three identical flavors have spatially symmetric wave functions. There are always three quarks per baryon.

  1. Quarks are elementary particles, but they have no meaningful measure of size. Depending on the local gauge symmetry always operates on three quarks. Antisymmetric combinations of the three fundamental representation colors are meson states. A quark-antiquark combination would have no color, but so could a triplet of red, green, and blue; those three colors are used together on a TV screen to generate white. There are baryonic resonances that contain three up quarks and three down quarks. These particles are unstable to strong interactions and decay in less than a flash. In the Standard Model of particle physics, many interactions involve three particles. Quarks are held together by interacting with the gluon field. The quarks interact with a force field, the quanta of which are called gluons. The gluon field is very similar to the electromagnetic field with the critical difference that, unlike the photons of electromagnetism, the gluons carry a color charge and interact with each other and other quarks.
