Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Leptons (like electrons and neutrinos) are elementary particles that do not experience the strong nuclear force, but they do experience the weak nuclear force. Hadrons and mesons are particles that experience both the strong and weak force. Bosons are a class of particles that include force carrier particles (like photons) and the Higgs boson, while baryons are a class of hadrons that are composed of three quarks (like protons and neutrons).
