Mary23 Posted November 21, 2015 Share Posted November 21, 2015 Do you know 30 elementary particles? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andrewcellini Posted November 22, 2015 Share Posted November 22, 2015 how many do you already know of? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ajb Posted November 22, 2015 Share Posted November 22, 2015 Apparently, if you count antiparticles and all the various colour states of quarks and gluons you get a grand total of 61 particles in the standard model. If you want a list, then just ask Wikipedia. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
studiot Posted November 22, 2015 Share Posted November 22, 2015 elementary particles? Hint; when making your list check the difference between a particle and an elementary particle. So protons and neutrons are not elementary as they are made of smaller particles But electrons were elementary, last time I checked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good idea, because if you don't just need elementary ones, there's also about ~140 mesons. So all-in-all, a lot of particles to choose from.
