ELECTRON Stable 1st Generation w/ Neutrino, Up, & Down Quark Charge -1, Mass .511 In Atom Shell Rules Chemical Reactions POSITRON Anti-Electron, Stable |
UP Stable Charge + 2/3 Mass 330 DOWN |
NUCLEONS 3 Quarks U & D In Atom Nucleus PROTON Stable, Quarks UUD Charge +1 Mass 938.3 NEUTRON Stable in Nucleus, Unstable outside Quarks: DDU Charge 0 Mass: 939.6 Decays into Electron, Proton, & Neutrino |
PIONS Hold Nucleus Together Produce Strong Force via Gluon Exchange w/ Proton & Neutron can change one to other |
ELECTROMAGNETIC PHOTON Stable, Mass 0, Spin 1 Strength .01, Range Infinite Decreases w/ Distance, Causes Unlike Attraction & Like Repulsion, Can change Electron to Positron or reverse, Symmetry w/ Weak & Strong at High Energy Energetic Photon from Electron-Positron Annihilation |
