    Quarks

    Explanation:

    In the standard models, fundamental particles that are the constituents of matter are divided into two groups:

    - Leptons: these are particles that do not feel the strong nuclear interaction. Leptons include: electron, muon, tau particle, and the three neutrinos.

    - Quarks: these are the particles that interacts via the strong nuclear force. There are six quark flavours: up, down, charme, strange, top, bottom.

    Quarks do not appear in nature as individual particles, but always inside more composite particles, namely:

    - Mesons: these particles consist of a pair of quark and antiquark.

    - Baryons: these particles are made of 3 quarks or 3 antiquarks.

    Protons and neutrons are also baryons. In particular:

    - A proton consists of 2 quarks up and 1 quark down

    - A neutron consists of 2 quarks down and 1 quark up
