Do particles rotate around themselves or they just move while the object rotates? In this question, I'm not talking about particle spin.
I guess, when an object rotates, its atoms also rotate. When an atom rotates, its particles must move in space. 
I wonder that if the particles have a direction.
Can they rotate or do they just move position around the axis (middle) of a proton so we consider that the proton rotates?
Let's think about single particles like electron instead of composite particles like hadrons.
Can electrons rotate ?
Edit : I think this is a simple and good question but I couldn't get a sufficient answer yet .
 A: Electrons are leptons and are not composite particles and are therefore treated as point particles, aside from current experiments that are looking for electron dipole moments. When quantum mechanical spin was discovered various models tried to explain it via our standard notions of orbital angular momentum by having the electron rotate but it doesn't work.
A: A particle as a point mass does not have rotation defined. So the question does not apply to point masses. In fact, rotations are used to describe the position of a point mass riding on a moving coordinate frame. 
I see rotation as a property of the frame of reference, and not necessarily of the masses tracked.
A: Any particle with spin has a defined direction, even if it is a point particle. Now you have to distinguish two parts of the rotation of the system:

*

*Any rotation around an axis perpendicular to the particle spin, will cause a change in the direction of the spin. So if for example you have an electron with spin up defined in the z-direction, and you rotate by 90 degrees in the z-x plane, then the electron will now have spin up defined in the x-direction.


*Any rotation around an axis parallel to the spin, adds a phase to the particle, whose size is exp(iS*theta) for an angle theta and spin S (in h-bar untis).
So yes, the particles within the nucleus/atom will also change not only in their positions.
