Al ordinary matter belongi to this group.
FIRST FAMILY
ELECTRON Responsible for electricly and chemt cal reaction Rhes : charged-1.
ELECTRON NEUTRINO Particle with no electric charge that rarely interacts with other matter. Bilions ty through your body every second.
UP Hun lectric charge o Proton here two of them, while noutrons have one.
DOWN Hus an electric charge of Protons have one of them, while noutrons have two
SECONO FAMILY
MUON A heavier relative of the electron
MUON NEUTRINO Created along with muons when some particles decay.
CHARM A heavier relative of the up .
STRANGE A heavier relative of the down.
For the most part theme particles
cated in the

BOSONS PHOTONS Fundamental The particles that make up particles that light, they carry the clectro
tranual the month force forces of nature.
GLUONS Canions of the strong force between quarties
INTERMEDIATE VECTOR BOSONS Heavy carrier of the weak force, which is etponsible for some forms d radioactive
GRAVITONS Not yet discovered but bolilored to carry the force de gravity
