Explanation

Quarks are elementary particles that are fundamental constituents of matter. They combine to form hadrons such as protons and neutrons. Quarks cannot be isolated individually due to color confinement - they are always found bound together in groups. They come in six 'flavors' (up, down, charm, strange, top, bottom) and have fractional electric charges.
