Elementary Particles:
There are 300 subatomic particles known today. Many subatomic particles are made up of particles called quarks and leptons.
Anti Particles:
Every subatomic particle in the universe has an anti-particle.
The difference between particle anti particle is that the signs are opposite.
Particles are classified into two:
Matter Particles:
The basic particle concept is used for quarks and leptons, as it is the most basic indivisible particle.
Leptons:
There is no internal structure and they are dotted.
They can be found alone in nature.
The lepton number is conserved in the reaction.
Six known leptons;
Electron
Electron neutrino
Muon
Muon neutrino
Tau
Tau neutrino
Quarks
Six varieties:
Up (u)
Down (d)
Talisman (c)
Strange (s)
Top (t)
Alt (b)
They cannot be found alone in nature.
When they come together they form hadrons.
Each quark has a specific charge.
Hadrons:
They are two groups, baryon and meson.
Baryones:
Known baryons are protons and neutrons.
All baryons decay and turn into protons.
Baryon number is conserved in reactions.
Mesons:
They are particles of interaction.
It is of two types.
Pion
Kaon
When mesons decay, they turn into an electron, neutrino, positron, or photon.
NOTE: Baryon 3 quark; Mesons consist of 1 quark and 1 anti particle occurs.
QProton:
QNeutron:
Area (Interaction) Particles:
They are particles that mediate the formation of four fundamental forces.
These;
Gluon
Photon
Boson
Graviton
Meson
Photon:
It is the smallest group of particles.
It is unloaded.
They interact through the electromagnetic force.
It is argued that although it has no mass, it should have mass due to its properties.
Their spins are 1.
They move with the speed of light.
