The structure of matter: Material composed of tiny particles called atoms. Furthermore, the atom is made by a very small nucleus surrounded by a cloud of particles called electrons. The nucleus consists of protons and neutrons, each composed of smaller particles called quarks. Quarks are of fundamental negative value, they can no longer be divided into smaller particles
Subatomic particles produced by fundamental particles can be called elementary particles or fundamental particles. Fundamental particles provide the basic units that make up all materials and energy in the universe.
- particles that belong to the quark category. There are 6 types of quarks, namely: up, down, charm, strange, top and bottom
- Particles that fall into the boson category. There are 4 types of bosons namely photon, gluon, Z-boson and W-boson
- Particles that fall into the lepton category. There are 6 types of leptons, namely: electron, electron neutrino, muon, muon neutrino, tauon, and tauon neutrino
