I think perhaps your confused here somewhat. A fermion is a particle which obeys the Pauli exclusion principle; put simply two fermions can not be in the same state (i.e. have the same set of quantum no's) at the same time. Fermions cannot be broken down into anything smaller, fermions include quark's, electron's, muon's, tau's and neutrino's which are elementary i.e. not made of anything but energy
Quarks make up all other particles. Bosons can be made of 3 quarks and are split into two catergorys: Baryons such as Protons, Neutrons and many other heavy particles these are effectively composite fermions as they contain 3 quarks. Or Mesons, which contain one quark and an anti quark and hence are not composite fermions.
What else can I help you with?
The weak force is transmitted by.?
The weak force is transmitted by the exchange of W and Z bosons between particles. These bosons are responsible for mediating interactions that involve the weak force, such as beta decay and neutrino interactions.
Are electrons fermions and what are their properties?
Yes, electrons are fermions. Fermions are particles that follow the Pauli exclusion principle, which states that no two fermions can occupy the same quantum state simultaneously. Electrons have properties such as mass, charge, and spin. They are negatively charged particles that orbit the nucleus of an atom and play a crucial role in chemical reactions and electricity.
What two categories is matter classified into?
Bosons and FermionsBy definition, bosons are particles which obey Bose-Einstein statistics: when one swaps two bosons, the wavefunction of the system is unchanged.Fermions, on the other hand, obey Fermi-Dirac statistics and the Pauli exclusion principle: two fermions cannot occupy the same quantum state as each other, resulting in a "rigidity" or "stiffness" of matter which includes fermions. Thus fermions are sometimes said to be the constituents of matter, while bosons are said to be the particles that transmit interactions (force carriers), or the constituents of radiation.ADD:Some people divide matter into pure substances and mixtures. Pure substances are elements and compounds. Mixtures include homogeneous and heterogeneous mixtures. Some people divide matter into homogeneous matter and heterogeneous matter. Homogeneous matter includes pure substances and homogeneous mixtures (solutions). Heterogeneous matter is heterogeneous mixtures.
What is the role of the partition function in describing the behavior of fermions in a quantum system?
The partition function helps in calculating the probability of different energy states for fermions in a quantum system. It provides a way to understand how fermions distribute themselves among these states, which is crucial for describing their behavior in the system.
What is gluon and boson?
a particle that binds quarks to one another
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.
What is a subatomic particle known as?
They are leptons, bosons, hadrons, fermions etc.
What are the subatomic particles with no mass?
photonsgravitonsBoth are bosons, there are no massless fermions although neutrinos were once believed to be massless.
Is the total wave function of identical fermions is antisymmetric?
Yes, identical fermions have antisymmetric wavefunctions. Identical bosons have symmetric -- look up Spin Statistics in any Standard Field Theory text.
Is a gluon a type of boson or is it some sort of force-carrying fermion if there is such a thing?
Yes, they are bosons. Fermions might be force carriers for supersymmetric particles if they exist but otherwise they are not.
What are subatomic particles called?
neutrons, protons and electrons, quarks (up, down, to, bottom, strange, charm), fermions, leptons, bosons (photon, W boson, Higgs boson, gluon, graviton).
What are extremely small units of matter?
Molecules, and atoms that make up molecules. An atom is made of smaller particles called protons, electrons, and neutrons. Smaller to this are groups such as fermions, Hadrons, Bosons
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).
How many fermions are there in electrons?
Electron is a member of the fermions group.
What is in everything that takes up space?
Bosons, for example light particles (photons), don't take up space. Bosons and fermions are the two different classes of fundamental particles. Fermions take up space. Now particles with mass don't always take up space, for example the force carrier particles of the weak nuclear force, they are bosons and therefore take up no space but they are quite massive (for particles).
What is super symmetry?
Supersymmetry (one word, abbreviated SUSY) is a hypothetical symmetry among groups of particles containing fermions and bosons, esp. in theories of gravity (supergravity) that unify electromagnetism, the weak force, and the strong force with gravity into a single unified force.
Are electrons examples of hadrons?
No, electrons are not examples of hadrons. Hadrons are composite particles made up of quarks, such as protons and neutrons, while electrons are elementary particles that are not made up of smaller particles.
