Meaning
Fermions are a group of subatomic particles which are not able to exist in the same place at the same time as one another.
About Fermions
- Subatomic particles are divided into two major categories; fermions and bosons. Bosons, in contrast to fermions, can exist in the same place at the same time as one another.
- The fermions include:
- Leptons - A group of fundamental particles
- Quarks - A group of subatomic particles believed to be fundamental but have never been observed on their own. They always exists in either a triplet of quarks or a quark-antiquark pair.
- Hadrons - Subatomic particles made of quarks.
