When the Big Bang expanded to a certain point, the quarks began to
clump into protons, neutrons, and electrons.

Point of pedantry. Electrons and other leptons (muons, tauons,
neutrinos) are not composed of quarks; it's hadrons (mesons - excluding
muons, etc - and nucleons and other baryons) that are composed of
quarks.
