Quarks are fundamental particles that possess fractional electric charges of 1/3 and 2/3, indicating that they are not formed from smaller constituents. The concept of quantized charge refers to the fixed multiples of these fractional values, reinforcing the notion that quarks themselves are not quantized in the traditional sense. This understanding aligns with the behavior of charged clouds in atomic orbitals, which also exhibit partial charges.
