A few quarks (which are now believed to be the fundamentals of protons and neutrons) would have come together to form protons and electrons in different orders. Neutrons have a neutral charge, and protons a posative charge as they came together the overall sub-atomic particle would be posative, which would attract and electron which is negative. The reason it would have exploded is to do with the electronic configuration of the hydrogen. It's unstable because it only has one electron in it's first shell, (it needs at least 2). 2 hydrogen atoms would have fused to create helium, which is more stable because it has 2 electrons in its first shell (which makes it quite unreactable). Hence the birth of the universe.
I don't think that's the reason of the Big Bang because sub-atomic particles fromed shortly after the initial invinitely hot and dense singularity (or explosion) of the Big Bang.
