Quarks are fundamental matter particles that are constituents of neutrons and protons and other hadrons. There are six different types of quarks. Each quark type is called a flavor.

Quark it the smallest indvisible charge particle
it is of 2 types with charges
-1/3e and +2/3e
where e is the charge on 1 electron
3 quarks join to make a particle (i.e. Proton,Neutron,Elctron)
try out the different combinations to create these particles from quarks :-)
