The subatomic particles considered important in the understanding of chemistry are the electron, the proton, and the neutron. Nuclear physics deals with how protons and neutrons arrange themselves in nuclei. The study of subatomic particles, atoms and molecules, and their structure and interactions, requires quantum mechanics.

Feynman diagram of electron/positron annihilation. The electron–positron annihilation interaction: e + + e − → 2γ. has a contribution from the second order Feynman diagram: In the initial state (at the bottom; early time) there is one electron (e −) and one positron (e +) and in the final state (at the top; late time) there are two ...
The Feynman diagram for beta-minus decay of a neutron (n = udd) into a proton (p = udu), electron (e −), and electron anti-neutrino ν e, via a charged vector boson (W −). In one type of charged current interaction, a charged lepton (such as an electron or a muon, having a charge of −1) can absorb a W +
Here [Ne] refers to the core electrons which are the same as for the element neon (Ne), the last noble gas before phosphorus in the periodic table. The valence electrons (here 3s 2 3p 3) are written explicitly for all atoms. Electron configurations of elements beyond hassium (element 108) have never been measured; predictions are used below.
The electron (e −, or β − in nuclear reactions) is a subatomic particle with a negative one elementary electric charge. [13] Electrons belong to the first generation of the lepton particle family, [14] and are generally thought to be elementary particles because they have no known components or substructure. [1]
The peculiar wobble of a subatomic particle called a muon in a U.S. laboratory experiment is making scientists increasingly suspect they are missing something in their understanding of physics ...
Pair production is the creation of a subatomic particle and its antiparticle from a neutral boson. Examples include creating an electron and a positron, a muon and an antimuon, or a proton and an antiproton. Pair production often refers specifically to a photon creating an electron–positron pair near a
