[edit] Quark model
In the quark model, based on the discover of quarks by Murray Gell-Mann and George Zweig in 1964, there are other particles which more accurately describe the structure and function of atoms and molecules. Although this model is closer to quantum physics than chemistry, the particles listed below are based on the quark model of the atom. Fermions (composed of quarks & leptons)
- Leptons (not composed of quarks)
- electrons
- muons
- tau
- neutrinos (3 types)
- Hadrons (composed of quarks)
- Baryons >
- protons
- neutrons
- Baryons >
- Mesons >
- pion
- kaon
Bosons ("force carriers")
- Photon
- Gluon
- W+, W-, and Z0
- Graviton
- Antiparticles (Quarks and leptons have antiparticles; bosons do not.)
