Previous answer submitted was "electrons are made up of quarks"

They most certainly are not! Electrons are leptons. Leptons are NOT made of quarks (the proton and the neutron are barions and thus made of 3 quarks). Fermions are believed to be fundamental meaning they are not made up of any smaller particle. However, some research has shown that they may be made up lesser charged particles "quasi-particles" which are a mixture of boson and fermion called ANYONS (bosons are massless (like light patricles) and fermions and leptons have mass)

[This is quantum physics by the way, not chemistry]

The above answer is not exactly correct either (I think he wanted to say are electrons made of matter).

Electrons are made up of something, we simply don't know the nature of this matter. But electrons as fundamental particles are not divisible in other smaller particles.

Electrons are considered elementary particles, which means they are not made up of any smaller components. They are a fundamental building block of matter and are found in the outer shells of atoms, carrying a negative charge.

Are all compounds made by sharing electrons?

No, not all compounds are made by sharing electrons. Ionic compounds are formed by the transfer of electrons from one atom to another, resulting in the formation of positively and negatively charged ions that are held together by electrostatic forces.


Is a nucleus made up of protons and electrons or electrons and neutrons or protons and neutrons?

A nucleus is made up of protons and neutrons. Protons have a positive charge, while neutrons have no charge. Electrons orbit around the nucleus in electron shells.
