Elementary bosons responsible for the four fundamental forces of nature are called force particles (gauge bosons). The strong interaction is mediated by the gluon , the weak interaction is mediated by the W and Z bosons, electromagnetism by the photon, and gravity by the graviton, which is still hypothetical.
Among the 61 elementary particles embraced by the Standard Model number: electrons and other leptons, quarks, and the fundamental bosons. Subatomic particles such as protons or neutrons, which contain two or more elementary particles, are known as composite particles. Ordinary matter is composed of atoms, themselves once thought to be ...

In particle physics, a generation or family is a division of the elementary particles. Between generations, particles differ by their flavour quantum number and mass, but their electric and strong interactions are identical. There are three generations according to the Standard Model of particle physics.
Composite particles refer to particles that have composition – that is particles which are made of other particles. [16] For example, a carbon-14 atom is made of six protons, eight neutrons, and six electrons. By contrast, elementary particles (also called fundamental particles) refer to particles that are not made of other particles. [17]
Americans' credit card debt has hit a record high, the Federal Reserve of New York said in a report released this week. Credit card debt climbed $24 billion over a three-month stretch ending in ...
The down quark (symbol: d) is a type of elementary particle, and a major constituent of matter.The down quark is the second-lightest of all quarks, and combines with other quarks to form composite particles called hadrons.
