Currently supported particles: Up (u), photon (γ) AN INTRODUCTION TO PARTICLE PHYSICS Elementary particles are particles smaller than atoms which cannot be broken down further. They consist of fermions (the ones on the outer circle) and bosons (the remaining five). Fermions consists of up quarks, down quarks and electrons that make atoms. There are also other heavier and more unstable quarks and leptons, and neutrinos that are lighter versions of electrons. Bosons govern forces that allow atoms to exist. An example is photons, particles of light and electromagnetism. What is mass, spin and charge? Mass is the amount of "matter" in an object. It is different from size because massive objects can have a small size. This concept may be abstract, and it's normal if you don't get it now. For particles, mass determines their stability. Particles that are very massive decay quickly and turn into less massive particles. Spin is how many times a particle has to "turn" in order to go back to its original state. Note that particles do not actually rotate and that "spin" is a magnetic property. Spin determines whether a particle is a boson (integer spin) or a fermion (fraction spin). Charge is a property of particles that determines if they attract or repel each other. Because gravity is very weak in the atomic state, it makes atoms stable by holding particles with ideal charges.
