Elementary particles are particles with no measurable internal structure; that is, it is unknown whether they are composed of other particles. [1] They are the fundamental objects of quantum field theory. Many families and sub-families of elementary particles exist. Elementary particles are classified according to their spin.

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.
The particles are represented by the lines of the diagram, which can be squiggly or straight, with an arrow or without, depending on the type of particle. A point where lines connect to other lines is a vertex, and this is where the particles meet and interact: by emitting or absorbing new particles, deflecting one another, or changing type.
In particle physics, the term particle zoo [1] [2] is used colloquially to describe the relatively extensive list of known subatomic particles by comparison to the variety of species in a zoo. In the history of particle physics , the topic of particles was considered to be particularly confusing in the late 1960s.
The strange quark or s quark (from its symbol, s) is the third lightest of all quarks, a type of elementary particle. Strange quarks are found in subatomic particles called hadrons. Examples of hadrons containing strange quarks include kaons (K), strange D mesons (D s), Sigma baryons (Σ), and other strange particles.
Ordinary nucleons (symbol N, meaning either a proton or neutron), by contrast, have a mass of about 939 MeV/c 2, and both intrinsic spin and isospin of 1 / 2 . The Δ + (uud) and Δ 0 (udd) particles are higher-mass spin-excitations of the proton (N +, uud) and neutron (N 0, udd), respectively. The Δ ++ and Δ −
