Hadrons interact through the strong nuclear force and decay through the weak nuclear force
Hadrons
Hadrons are made up of quarks
Leptons
Neutrino Charge: 0 v
Baryons
Baryons are protons and all other hadrons that decay into protons. They are made up of three quarks
Mesons
Mesons are hadrons that do not decay into protons. They are made up of a quark-antiquark pair
