Protons and neutrons are in atomic nuclei, while electrons are located outside atomic nuclei in various probabilities of energetically favored states. Quarks are the fundamental particles that compose the hadron family of particles, of which protons and neutrons are members. Thus, you better believe quarks are found in atomic nuclei! In fact, because of the way the strong nuclear force acts on quarks, they can never be found on their own they are not found on their own at low energies but it is possible that they can become free at extremely high energies, as is the case in the hypothetical quark-gluon plasma. As we can observe them, however, they're always in protons and neutrons (or the various other hadrons).

∙ 13y agoNo, quarks are not nucleons. A nucleon is a term (in physics) that is given to either of the two component particles of an atomic nucleus: the proton and the neutron. Both protons and neutrons are composite particles from the family of hadrons, and hadrons are made up of quarks.

What subatomic particles make up the atom?
protons, neutrons and electrons are the main subatomic particles of the atom. There are the same number of protons as electrons, which is equal to the atomic number. The number of neutrons may vary according to the isotope of the element.
What subatomic particle is always equal in neutral atoms?
protons and electrons will always be = number
Which two atomic particles have equal but opposite charge?
Electrons and protons (subatomic particles).
Are elections bigger or smaller then neutrons and protons?
Electrons are smaller in mass, but equal to protons in charge, although with the opposite charge, and bigger than neutrons in charge.
Chemical with 11 protons and 10 electrons is?
The chemical element with 20 protons and 20 neutrons is Calcium(Ca). The number of protons is equal to the number of electrons, and the number of electrons is equal to the atomic number.
What subatomic particles make up the atom?
protons, neutrons and electrons are the main subatomic particles of the atom. There are the same number of protons as electrons, which is equal to the atomic number. The number of neutrons may vary according to the isotope of the element.
Do electrons equal the sum of the number of neutrons and protons in an isotope?
No. The number of neutrons has no affect on the number of protons and electrons.
How many protons electrons and neutrons are in Ag?
The number of protons in a atom is equal to the atomic number, therefor Ag has 47 protons. The number of protons and neutrons in an atom is equal to the atomic mass, therefor (108-47= 61) Ag has 61 neutrons. The number of electrons is equal to the number of protons therefor Ag has 47 electrons.
If someone picks up an excess of electrons while walking across a carpet their charge would be?
negative protons are positively charged neutrons are neutral electrons are negative the masses of neutrons and protons are approximately equal and electrons, which "orbit" around the nucleus (the protons and neutrons) are much smaller mass-wise protons and electrons charges are equal and opposite
What is the sum of protons and neutrons known as an element?
Sum of protons and neutrons is the Mass number of the element. The number of protons is equal to the number of electrons. Neutrons and protons are sub atomic particles.
What subatomic particle is always equal in neutral atoms?
protons and electrons will always be = number
How can subatomic particles help identify an element?
you find the real atomic twist in the vein
How many protons electrons and neutrons in bromine-80?
79? I'm pretty sure the atomic mass of Bromine is 80. Incase you were wrong, the Atomic mass = Number of protons + Neutrons, which is 80. The atomic number is 35, which is the number of protons. Protons = 35. So the No. of Neutrons = 80 ( protons & neutrons) - 35 (protons) = 45 ( No. of neutrons) and Finally for electrons = the number of protons which is 35.
Is the number of electrons equal the number of neutrons in an atom?
not usually, a standard atom will contain the same amount of electrons and PROTONS, not neutrons
Atoms are made of what subatomic particles?
All atoms, except Hydrogen-1 which is only one electron and one proton, are made of three fundamental particles: neutrons, protons, and electrons. Neutrons and protons are also made of up and down quarks. Electrons have very little mass and a charge of negative one while protons and neutrons are more massive and of approximately equal mass. Neutrons have no charge (neutral charge) whereas protons have a charge of positive one.
How many protons neutrons and electrons are there in a sodium atom?
Electrons~ 11 Neutrons~11 12Protons~11Youre welcome(;___________________________ (Improved answer) No, It has 11 electrons, 11 protons and 12 neutrons.
Are neutrons the lightest subatomic particles?
No, they have equal weight as protons have: 1 a.m.u. Electrons are lighter (1:1800)
