- Fundamental Particles
- BOSONS: force mediating particles
- GLUONS
- These are associated with strong forces, act between quarks to form hadrons and they hold the nucleus together
- These are short range forces
- These are associated with strong forces, act between quarks to form hadrons and they hold the nucleus together
- W AND Z BOSONS
- These are associated with weak nuclear forces, act between leptons and can cause radioactive decay
- These are short range forces
- These are associated with weak nuclear forces, act between leptons and can cause radioactive decay
- GRAVITONS
- These are associated with gravitational forces
- These forces have an infinite range
- These are associated with electro-magnetic forces and keep electrons inside the nucleus
- These forces have an infinite range
- These are associated with gravitational forces
- PHOTONS
- These are associated with electro-magnetic forces and keep electrons inside the nucleus
- GLUONS
- FERMIONS: matter particles
- LEPTONS: These are light in weight and have a negative charge
- Electron; 1st generation
- Muon; 2nd genereation
- Tau; 3rd generation
- Neutrino; have no charge and can be found as electron neutrinos, muon neutrinos and tau neutrinos
- QUARKS: These make up protons and have different masses and charges but must combine to form hadrons of +1/-1 charge
- Up quarks
- Down quarks
- Strange quarks
- Charm quarks
- Top quarks
- Bottom quarks
- Quarks combine to form hadrons
- BARYONS: These are stable molecules made up of 3 quarks
- MESONS: These are unstable and are made up of one quark and one anti-quark
- Quarks combine to form hadrons
