The Gravitational Interaction
- Gravity attracts all matter but is too weak to have significant effects at a subatomic scale
The Electromagnetic Interaction
- Plays an important role in the forces between charged particles and is responsible for the phenomenon of electromagnetism
The Strong Interaction
- It is this force that binds atomic nuclei together and stops them from flying apart due to the mutual repulsion of their protons and is the dominant interaction in reactions and decays of most od the fundamental particles. However, leptons don't experience the strong force
The Weak Interaction
- A force that is involved in nuclear beta decay and other radioactive processes. All particles experience the weak interaction.
