Here are the six types of quarks:
* Up (u)
* Down (d)
* Charm (c)
* Strange (s)
* Top (t)
* Bottom (b)
Protons and neutrons, which make up the nucleus of an atom, are composed of these quarks. For example, a proton is made up of two up quarks and one down quark (uud), while a neutron is made up of one up quark and two down quarks (udd).
