What are quarks and hadrons inside an atom

Q. It is now believed that protons and neutrons (which constitute nucleiof ordinary matter) are themselves built out of more elementary unitscalled quarks. A proton and a neutron consist of three quarks each.Two types of quarks, the so called ‘up’ quark (denoted by u) of charge+ (2/3) e, and the ‘down’ quark (denoted by d) of charge (–1/3) e,together with electrons build up ordinary matter. (Quarks of othertypes have also been found which give rise to different unusualvarieties of matter.) Suggest a possible quark composition of aproton and neutron.

A proton and a neutron consist of three quarks each. Two types of quarks, the so-called 'up' quark (denoted by u) of charge + (2/3) e, and the 'down' quark (denoted by d) of charge (-1/3) e, together with electrons build up ordinary matter. (Quarks of other types have also been found which give rise to different unusual varieties of matter.) Suggest a possible quark composition of a proton and neutron.

what are quarks and gluons ? what the do inside the nucleus ?

Neutrons are made up of one up quark and two down quarks and the quarks have chare.....

So why neutrons do not have charge ?
