Are electrons examples of hadrons?
The answer is no: electrons are fermions while mesons are bosons.
What is all the matter in the universe made of?
quarks and leptons, held together by gluons, W+ bosons, W- bosons, photons, and gravitons
What could be smaller than an atom?
The electron is much smaller than the atom it orbits. The photon, with a wavelength shorter than X-Rays, are also smaller than atomic radii. In general, this scale is the realm of particle physics, classified as quarks, leptons and bosons. Quarks are what make up the center of atoms, like constituents of protons and neutrons. Leptons are much less massive particles which are exemplified by electrons and neutrinos. Bosons are particles which give rise to force from fields. Examples of bosons are photons (which are particles of light) and gluons (which keep quarks together in the nucleus).

What Is the relationship between a Higgs boson and an atom?
The Higgs boson is analogous to other bosons (photon, muon, gluon, graviton, etc.) which couple forces. Atoms are composed of fermions bound together by exchanging various virtual bosons (e.g. electrons are bound to the nucleus by exchanging virtual photons, the protons and neutrons in the nucleus are bound together by exchanging virtual muons, the quarks are bound inside protons and neutrons by exchanging virtual gluons), no real bosons of any type exist in an atom (although some atoms are themselves bosons even though they are entirely composed of fermions).
Are electrons examples of hadrons?
The answer is no: electrons are fermions while mesons are bosons.
The weak force is transmitted by.?
The weak nuclear force is transmitted by gauge bosons, these bosons are W+, W- and Z bosons.
What is all of the matter in the universe made of?
quarks and leptons, held together by gluons, W+ bosons, W- bosons, photons, and gravitons
What do bosons do?
Bosons are subatomic particles which have integer spin and obey Bose-Einstein statistics. There can be more than one boson at a given point in space with the same quantum state. Bosons are the force carriers. Known bosons are the photon (light), the gluon (strong force), the neutral weak force carrier, and the charged weak force carrier.
How do we explain particle classification in terms of bosons and fermions?
Bosons are particles that follow Bose-Einstein statistics, fermions are particles that follow Fermi-Dirac statistics. Another way of saying that is that fermions obey the Pauli exclusion principle and bosons do not.

All matter is made up of what?
quarks and leptons, held together by gluons, W+ bosons, W- bosons, gravitons, and photons
What is smaller than a gluon?
Bosons are particles with integer spin which do not obey the Pauli Exclusion Principle, therefore a number of them may occupy the same quantum state.In general, all bosons can be classified as either mesons (composite particles) or gauge bosons (elementary bosons). Pions are examples of mesons, while photons are examples of gauge bosons.Since the name "boson" applies to a number of particles there can be no answer to this question.Bosons are part of 3 families of fundamental particles described by the Standard Model of quantum physics, and being fundamental means they have no known substructure - i.e., there isn'tanything smaller than a boson. (The same applies to quarks and leptons.)
What are gauge bosons?
Gauge bosons are elementary particles (subatomic particles). An elementary particle is a substance that can not be broken down anymore. So to answer your question: Gauge bosons are the forces of what makes up nature. For example: Photon=electromagnetic force, gluon=strength, z and w bosons=weakness and gravitons=gravity (not yet observed). The different particles can be found on the Elementary particle table. I hope this partially answers your question.
What are gluons made of?
point particles that are bosons, they have no internal structure.
Are Gravitons sub atomic particles?
Yes, Gravitons are hypothetical sub-atomic particles / gauge bosons. These bosons are predicted to behave similarly to photons, having zero rest mass and infinite range, their force is predominant over very large distances. Like all gauge bosons, these are the mediators of what we experience as "force".
What is a subatomic particle known as?
They are leptons, bosons, hadrons, fermions etc.
