Table 1. Types of elementary particles, particles-carriers of interaction, and interaction.

Fermions	Particles of spacetime
Quarks	Up, charm, top
(form protons and neutrons)	Down, strange, bottom
Leptons	Electron, muon, tau
	Electron neutrino, muon neutrino, tau neutrino
Bosons	Interaction/force carriers (messenger particles)
	Gluon – strong nuclear force-carrier
	Photon – electromagnetic force-carrier
	Z boson – weak nuclear force-carrier
	W boson – weak nuclear force-carrier
	Higgs boson - responsible for the emergence of mass
