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).


Theoretical massless particle?

== == The Higgs Boson is another theoretical particle thought to be responsible for the presence of mass in other particles that have mass. I believe the Higgs Boson is theorized to be itself massless. there are 3 known massless particles: the gauge boson, the photon, and the gluon ( the gluon isn't necessarily categorized as a free particle due to the fact that they are confined to hadrons) neutrinos were also, until recently, were thought to be massless. however, they were discovered to change flavor, which means that they must have mass.


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.


Smallest subparticle gluon meson or boson?

Gluons are force mediators, mesons are composite bosons, and bosons have an integral spin. Neither of these are the smallest particle. The smallest particles are quarks and electrons, believed to be single points.


What is the plural of gluon?

The plural of gluon is gluons.


What are some examples of bosons?

Some examples of bosons are photons (particle of light), W and Z bosons (mediate weak nuclear force), gluons (mediate strong nuclear force), and Higgs boson (associated with giving mass to particles).


Bizarre particle that carries the nuclear strong force?

Gluon


What is navy boson's mate?

The Navy Boson's mate is the Captain.... the Boson is the second in command...


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 is bigger a muon or a gluon?

A muon is larger than a gluon. A muon is a subatomic particle that is about 200 times more massive than an electron, while a gluon is a massless particle that mediates the strong nuclear force in the Standard Model of particle physics.


What particle can exist alone and is smaller than any other?

A particle smaller than atom is a subatomic particle, protons , neutrons, and , electrons, the smallest one is an electron, smaller than that are point particles and elementary particles, one elementary particle and point particle is a quark, up quarks down quarks the smallest single thing found so far is a GLUON, which is the force which binds/holds quarks together. Where the devil lives in anti matter there are also atoms and subatomic particles and point particles but just anti, anti- GLUON, anti-QUARK, anti-ATOM, anti-SUBATOMIC PARTICLE. There is something called the string theory, and super string theory that theorizes about bosonic/boson strings but it can not be provine yet, and I think a gluon is still alot smaller than a bosonic/boson string if they are true.
