Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Gluons are the elementary particles that carry the strong force between quarks, which binds them together to form protons and neutrons in the nucleus. Muons and leptons are types of fundamental particles that do not participate in the strong force, and mesons are intermediate particles composed of quarks and antiquarks that are also involved in the strong force, but as the carriers of the weaker nuclear force. The Higgs boson is another elementary particle that interacts with other particles to give them mass; it is not involved in carrying any of the fundamental forces.
