Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Composite particles made of three quarks are called baryons. Leptons are elementary particles that do not participate in strong interactions while hadrons are either composed of quarks or contain quarks as their constituents. Mesons are also composite particles, but they are made of a quark and an antiquark. Bosons are a type of elementary particle that have integer spin and obey Bose-Einstein statistics.
