The effect of multi-quark compound states on the ${}_{}{}^3{}_{}{}^{}\mathrm{He}$ charge form factor is investigated based on the Reid soft-core potential model and the relativistic harmonic oscillator quark model. A reasonable agreement with the experimental data is obtained for the momentum transfer up to ∼1.7 GeV/c with the 2.7% six-quark compound state confined within a radius of ∼0.9 fm.
