Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The theory for which Weinberg and Salam won the 1979 Nobel Prize in physics was the electroweak interaction, which unifies the electromagnetic and weak forces.

Answer: J, K
 Quarks are elementary particles that come in six "flavors," including strange and charm. These are not separate particles, but rather different properties of the quarks themselves.

Answer: N
 Intermediate bosons are particles that mediate the weak nuclear force, which is responsible for processes like beta decay. The W and Z bosons are examples of intermediate bosons.

Answer: E, F, G, H, O
 Fermions are a class of elementary particles that includes protons, neutrons, and electrons. Baryons like protons and neutrons are a subset of fermions, while leptons like electrons and neutrinos are another subset. Mesons like pions and kaons are composite particles made of fermions and are classified as bosons.
