Answer:

up quark

Step-by-step explanation:

  • An atom is the smallest particle of element that can take part in a chemical reaction. It consists of subatomic particles; electrons, neutrons and protons.
  • Electrons are found in the energy levels while protons and neutrons are found in the nucleus.
  • A proton is made up of three parts namely;
  1. Two up quarks
  2. One down quark, and
  3. The gluons
  • The gluons are parts in which the quarks exchange, and this is how the strong nuclear forces works to keen them from getting out.
