Match these particle physics descriptions

 

A class of particles that consist of two quarks

 

An electron is a member of this class of particles.

 

A proton is a member of this class of particles

 

A class of particles that experiences the weak but not the strong nuclear force.

 

A class of particles that consist of three quarks

 

A class of particles that experiences strong and weak nuclear forces.

1. Hadrons

2.Mesons
3.Baryons
4.Leptons
Expert Solution
Step 1

Explanation-  

      1.  Mesons are the Particles which are made up from two quarks, one is quark another is antiquark.  

      2.  an electron is comes under the category of Leptons.

      3.  a proton comes under the category of Baryons.

      4.  Leptons are a group of particles that do not experience the strong force, it experiences only the weak nuclear force.

      5.  Baryons are the particles that are made up from three quarks.

      6.  Hadrons are the particles that experiences strong nuclear forces.
