There are 6 leptons in total.

1st Gen.

Electron

Electron Neutrino

2nd gen.

Muon

Muon Neutrino

3rd gen.

Tau

Tau Neutrino

They all have a anti-particle too. Like the Positron, Muon Antineutrino, ect.

What is smaller than an lepton?

Leptons are elementary particles and are considered fundamental, meaning they are not made up of smaller components. However, in the context of particle physics, quarks are another type of elementary particle, but they are not smaller than leptons; rather, they are different types of particles that combine to form protons and neutrons. Currently, there are no known particles smaller than leptons, as they are among the basic building blocks of matter.

Do hadrons have leptons or just mesons and baryons?

Hadrons are particles composed of quarks. There are two (known) types of hadrons: mesons, which consist of a quark and an antiquark, and baryons, which consist of three quarks (or three antiquarks). Leptons are a separate type of particles. They are not composed of quarks, but are elementary particles in their own right.


What family of particles do electrons belong to?

An electron is an elementary particle, and is one of the family of particles called leptons. The leptons are a family of the group called the fermions.


What do leptons do?

Leptons are a type of fundamental particle that make up matter. They do not experience strong nuclear force, but they do interact through weak nuclear force and electromagnetism. Leptons include particles like electrons, neutrinos, and muons.


What was the name of the first types of particles produced by the Big Bang?

The first types of particles produced by the Big Bang were quarks and leptons. Quarks combined to form protons and neutrons, while leptons included electrons and neutrinos. These fundamental particles emerged during the early moments of the universe as it cooled and expanded. Eventually, protons and neutrons formed atomic nuclei, leading to the creation of hydrogen and helium.

Type of particle thought to compose protons and neutrons?

There are two types of subatomic particles hypothesized to comprise protons and neutrons. Elementary particles having mass by the types of quarks, leptons and bosons are the first. The second are composite particles, which include baryons, mesons, and leptons.


What is a lepton particle?

A lepton is an elementary particle that does not undergo strong interactions. Two main classes of leptons exist: charged leptons (also known as the electron-like leptons), and neutral leptons (better known as neutrinos). Charged leptons can combine with other particles to form various composite particles such as atoms and positronium, while neutrinos rarely interact with anything, and are consequently rarely observed.
