Conservation rules
Energy is conserved
Charge is conserved
Lepton number is conserved
Baryon number is conserved
Strangeness is conserved in strong interaction but not weak
1 of 12
Hadron
Particles made of quarks
Baryon/meson
2 of 12
Baryon
3 quarks or 3 anti quarks
Baryon number 1/-1
3 of 12
Meson
A quark and anti quark pair
Pion = up and down quarks
Kaon = up, down and strange quarks
Baryon number 0

Lepton
Particle not made of anything else
Electrons, muons etc
5 of 12
Quarks
Up - baryon number 1/3, charge +2/3

Down - baryon number 1/3, charge -1/3

Strange - baryon number 1/3, charge -1/3, strangeness -1
