Isnt the electron made up of more than two quarks?

yes, Each proton and each neutron contains three quarks.There are several varieties of quarks. Protons and neutrons are composed of two types: up quarks and down quarks.\n\nEach up quark has a charge of +2/3.\nEach down quark has a charge of -1/3.\nThe sum of the charges of quarks that make up a nuclear particle determines its electrical charge. \n\nbut string theory proposes that it gets smaller than quarks a lot smaller. it is interesting and cool to look into.

All the fundamental particles are thought of as having no size.  They are all point particles as far as we know.  In reality they probably are all made up of something else...but we haven't been able to probe deep enough to know what that would be.\n\nSo, they are are smallest: quarks, leptons (electrons, neutrinos), and bosons (photon, gluons, W/Z, graviton), and more?

a proton has a weight of approximately 1836.15 electrons

< quark >   \n \nAny of a group of six elementary particles having electric charges of a magnitude one-third or two-thirds that of the electron, regarded as constituents of all hadrons.\n\nIn particle physics, quarks are subatomic particles thought to be elemental and indivisible. They are one of the two kinds of spin-? fermions (the other being the leptons). Objects made up of quarks are known as hadrons; well known examples are protons and neutrons.

As far as we know, quarks are elementary particles (meaning they are not made up of anything else).\n\nQuarks were formed at the beginning of the universe, but new ones are also formed all the time.  \n\nIn high-energy collisions quarks can be created.  At Fermilab, protons are collided with anti-protons each with about 1000 GeV of energy, and hundreds of quarks can be created in each collision.  A radiated gluon, for example, can hadronize into many particles made of quarks.

the simplistic answer involves the electrons, protons and neutrons. the more complex answer contains up quarks, down quarks- which are the building blocks of protons and neutrons. \nThen if we think about it we have also got anti-matter, which is involved in bonding and so forth, and so must be around somewhere. positrons, anti-bonding orbitals, etc.

The question asks specifically how many electrons can the be in the third ring of an atom. So the answer is 8 not 18. There maybe a total of 18 electrons around the atom but in the third shell there are 8. This is of course using a rather outdated concept of the atom, we should not, strictly speaking think of electrons as orbiting in shells.

Inside an atoms are electrons and a nucleus. The nucleus is made of protons and neutrons. The protons and neutrons are made out of things called quarks. As far as we know, quarks and electrons are fundamental, meaning they are not made out of anything smaller. There are several types of quark and under certain circumstances, they can convert from one type into another.

no.  The most anti-matter they can produce at one time is incredibly small, only a few particles the size of electrons.

With modern chemistry and quantum physics knowledge, we know 104 elements. \n\nAn element is defined by proton count, which in turn determines the number of electrons in orbit. Hence we know we aren't missing any elements in between, all numbers between 1 and 104 are known.\n\nThis leaves elements with proton counts of 105 or greater. The greatest difficulty in identifying these is that they are extremely unstable. The observer needs to be lucky and skilled to observe one of these superheavy elements before it decays.\n\nEven more so since these elements are produced by colliding heavy ions at high speed, creating lots of  energy at the collision. Capturing such an element and identifying its mass charge ration in a mass spectrometer or getting spectroscopical data that can be fitted to the theoretical energies one would expect is hard under these circumstances.

Basically no. The idea behind subatomic physics is that when things get stuck together, you have to put energy into them to split them apart. (just like "real" physics). The tighter they are stuck together, they more energy it takes to split them apart. And the smaller they are, the tighter they are stuck together.\n\nQuarks are stuck together into subatomic particles so tightly that we need to build even bigger more powerful "atom smashers" to bust them loose; big "racetracks" miles across where the electrons can wind up faster and faster until they get released at the target. Costs a LOT to build. Until then, they're just a theoretical toy.\n\nAs for 'colors', that's just a name they made up to classify them by, doesn't apply to anything real. Same as the properties they call 'strangeness' or 'charm'.

OK.  There was a discrepancy in the atomic mass of elements.  We have electrons, which have insignificant mass, and an equal number of protons (to make the atom neutral), but the atomic mass exceeds the sum of the masses of the protons + electrons.  So we hypothesize that there is another particle in the atom which has atomic mass roughly the same as a proton but no charge.\nIt makes sense that this particle is in the nucleus.\nBUT, we can't use magnetic properties to isolate this particle.  And an atom is pretty much indivisible.  So we must actually strip off the electrons AND the protons to isolate neutrons.  That's not easy.

The point to realise about electrons is that they don’t objectively exist anywhere while they are in motion. There is a probability of them existing in multiple locations but they don’t fully exist in any of those.\n\nSo electrons aren’t really in more than one place at one time. Rather they exist ‘smeared’ over a range of points in space with a probability the decreases with distance form the nucleus. They aren’t really in more than one place at once, rather they exist to some extent in all places simultaneously but the probability of their existence in any one place is always finite.\n\nIt might help to think of an electron like a global jetsetter, Such a person could possibly anywhere in the world on any given day but they are more likely to be found in one of a few favoured locations. You won’t actually know where they are until you go and look for them but you know they are most likely in St. Tropez or Rio at any given moment. Electrons are much the same. Any individual electron could be in St. Tropez or Rio at any point in time, or they could be at any other point in the universe.  The only way to know where they are is to go and have a look.\n\nThe crucial difference is that when dealing with electrons it is the act of looking that actually defines the location.  They can potentially exists in both St. Tropez and Rio but if you look in St. Tropez and find it then it will have been there all the time.

we are human beings made of complex carbon compounds which are made of basic particles molecules which are agin made of electrons and protons and nuetrons which are again made up of quarks..............we are livng in this universe with reason tha twe see the way it is.........its as per the basic anthropic principal............now as far as being existing in terms of pairs let me explain you...\nwe live in universe which is made of particles and antiparticles every particle has a corresponding antiparticle.  A particle and its antiparticle have identical mass and spin..now these both carry various as per earths scientist have designed such as electric charge, color charge, flavor, electron number, muon number, tau number, and baryon number. so if go into deep into this it will be difficult to understand..... so we exists in pairs...so check out man to see whether ur anti of yours.you will be annhilited man.....so better be careful...one another approch is the many world theory which states us that there are many parallel universes around they depend upon the every action do in present i guess.....its also called as catastrophe if you know.....\nso there u go that swhy we r not alone and only one....\nregarding the last two this called as world as our english dictionary given a name to this earth the other name....and if you dnt who you are then you better stop watchin movies like matrix..........and all that crap....hope u understand the answer.........live life bye.......

Protons are composed of quarks, the smallest currently know material of the universe. Quarks have a + or a - (positive or negative) charge and it is when they are added that it creates a magnetic property. For example, protons are made of 3 quarks, 2 positive, 1 negative thus summing up to a charge of +1.

To the extent that there was a conflict, it was resolved by Dirac. His was a quantum theory that directly included relativistic invariance. His equation is now the basis for our understanding of relativistic electrons. As of now, we don't have a way of reconciling quantum theory and *general* relativity, though.
