Quarks are elementary particles that combine to form protons and neutrons, which are found in the nucleus of atoms. Leptons are another type of elementary particle that do not participate in the strong nuclear force and include electrons, muons, and tau particles. Quarks have fractional electric charges while leptons have integer electric charges.
The pion-nucleon interaction refers to the strong force interaction between a pion (a type of meson) and a nucleon (proton or neutron). Pions are exchanged between nucleons to transmit the strong nuclear force, which binds protons and neutrons together in atomic nuclei. This interaction is crucial for understanding nuclear structure and properties.
No. The strong nuclear force works through the exchange of a subatomic particle called a meson. Additionally, the strong nuclear force has to hold protons and neutrons together in the nucleus, so having a charge would have no effect on the neutrons.
Protons and neutrons are held together by the strong nuclear force, they have an attraction towards each other that overpowers the electromagnetic force that repels them. This strong interaction, as it is also known, only works over short distances, microscopic to be exact.
The Gluon and the Meson carry the Strong force
A muon does not have a quark composition as it is a type of elementary particle, not a composite particle made up of quarks. Muons are classified as leptons, which are fundamental particles that do not experience the strong nuclear force and are not composed of quarks.
A neutron is a neutral elementary particle found in atomic nuclei. It has no electric charge and is slightly heavier than the proton. Neutrons play a crucial role in stabilizing atomic nuclei through the strong nuclear force.
The four fundamental forces of nature are gravity, the electromagnetic force, the strong force (strong nuclear force or strong interaction), and the weak force(weak nuclear force or weak interaction).
When we say a particle is weakly interacting, it means that it interacts with other particles through the weak nuclear force, which is one of the four fundamental forces in nature. This interaction is relatively weaker compared to the strong and electromagnetic forces.

The strong nuclear force, aka the strong interaction.
The pion-nucleon interaction refers to the strong force interaction between a pion (a type of meson) and a nucleon (proton or neutron). Pions are exchanged between nucleons to transmit the strong nuclear force, which binds protons and neutrons together in atomic nuclei. This interaction is crucial for understanding nuclear structure and properties.
The four elementary forces of nature are gravity, electromagnetism, the weak nuclear force, and the strong nuclear force. These forces govern the interactions between particles and are responsible for the behavior of matter in the universe.
There are four fundamental forces in particle physics: electromagnetism, gravity, the strong nuclear force, and the weak nuclear force. The strong nuclear force is mediated by a particle called the gluon (like electromagnetism is mediated by the photon). Protons and neutrons are not elementary particles. They are composed of two types of quarks, up and down, with charges of +2/3 and -1/3 respectively. Quarks are bound to eachother by electromagnetism but, more importantly, also by the strong nuclear force. So the strong nuclear force is responsible for holding together the protons and neutrons themselves. The gluons then bind protons and neutrons together indirectly through exchanging composite particles called pions, made of two quarks held together by gluons.
