Quarks are usually defined as sub-atomic particles that are combined with one another and results in the formation of hadrons, of which the protons and the neutrons. They are a little heavier than the electrons and have a size of about 10^-18 m.

There are a total of 6 types of quarks, and they are as follows-

• Top quark

• Bottom quark

• Up quark

• Down quark
