Protons are made up of small particles called quarks. More specificly, a proton is made up of 2 "up" quarks and 1 "down" quark. (note: 'up' and 'down' classify what kind of quark it is. Some other quarks are top, bottom, charm, and strange)

∙ 9y agoProtons and neutrons are called hadrons. A hadron contains three quarks. Quarks come in 6 flavors (types). These types are up, down, top, bottom, strange, and charmed. (The names are completely arbitrary.) A proton contains two up quarks and one down quark while a neutron contains one up quark and two down quarks. (There are particles that contain the other quarks but are less common and decay very easily)

What is most of an atom made of?
In terms of weight, the major proportion consists of protons and netrons which are found in the nucleus. In terms of volume, electrons which surround the nucleus in a cloud.
How many protons netrons and electrons does one atom of oxygen have?
Oxygen's atomic number is 8. Thus, a neutral atom of oxygen will have 8 protons and 8 electrons. The most common isotope of oxygen is 16O, which has 16 - 8 = 8 neutrons.
An atom's nucleus contains what?
An atoms nucleus contains neutrons as well as electrons and thc drops that get you real blitzed so learn your science and get a job brothers and sisters
Is a nucleus made up of protons and electrons or electrons and neutrons or protons and neutrons?
The nucleus is made up of protons and neutrons; the electrons form electron shells around the nucleus.
Which element has the largest amount of protons and is not man made?
Uranium with 92 protons.
What are atoms mad of?
i think its protons, netrons, nuclius and electrons.
What element is a gas withwith 8 protons and8 netrons?
Oxygen.
Atoms are mad of what particles?

How many potons and netrons are in an atom?
The total number of protons and neutrons in the nucleus varies depending on the element, and any isotopes thereof.
What makes lead?
Lead is an element, Pb, so lead makes up lead! It has 82 protons, 82 electrons, approx. 125 netrons and an Atomic Mass of 207.2
How many protons netrons and electrons does one atom of oxygen have?
Oxygen's atomic number is 8. Thus, a neutral atom of oxygen will have 8 protons and 8 electrons. The most common isotope of oxygen is 16O, which has 16 - 8 = 8 neutrons.
Are protons electrons and neutrons energy?
They are actually not the same. Electrons actually have a negative charge. Neutrons don't have any charge at all. And protons have a positive electric charge. So they are all different. Hoped this helped!!
What indicates the total number of protons and neutrons in an atom?
The mass number of an isotope indicates the total number (the sum) of protons and netrons in an atom.The number of protons is determined by the atomic number.The number of neutrons can be found by subtracting the atomic number from the mass number.
What has a diffent number of netrons?
Isotopes.
