LEPTONS are basically family of fundamental subatomic particles consisting of electron, muon, tauon(tau) particles with their corresponding neutrinos They have spin 1/2. They do not strongly interact.

What is a class of light elementary subatomic particles?
Leptons
What is a subatomic particle known as?
They are leptons, bosons, hadrons, fermions etc.
Are laptons electrons?
I presume you mean lepton instead of lapton ;) In which case leptons are not electrons, but electrons are leptons. Leptons are a group of matter particles which do not feel the strong nuclear force and are believed to be elementary (i.e. they do not consist of smaller particles). They are: -Electron -Muon -Tau(on) -Electron neutrino -Muon neutrino -Tau neutrino and their associated anti particles (such as the anti-electron, commonly known as the positron).
What is the difference between mesons and leptons?
Mesons are part of the Hadron group along with Baryons, and are subatomic particles composed of one quark and one antiquark. (Baryons being composed of three quarks.) Quarks and leptons are elementary particles, and that is the fundamental difference.
Are hadrons neutrons?
No. A neutron is one of several types of hadron.
What leptons called?
Leptons are just called that: "leptons". (One example of a lepton is an electron.)
Which of these are elements that occur the most in nature isotopes quarks leptons?
Quarks and leptons are not elements.
What is science first word is leptons?
Leptons are a type of subatomic particle, and the science that deals with them is theoretical physics.
What are the three 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.
Are Leptons are made of quarks and antiquarks?
No.
What are electron groups?
Electrons are leptons and fermions.
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 are the 2 smallest parts in matter?
quarks & leptons
Are Leptons negative quarks?
No, they are their whole own category.
What is a class of light elementary subatomic particles?
Leptons
The difference between a quark and a lepton is?
Quarks experience all four fundamental interactions, whereas leptons only experience three. Leptons do not experience the strong interaction.
