== Description ==<br />
Particles can be elementary, such as [[Physics:Quantum particles/quark|quarks]] and [[Physics:Quantum particles/lepton|leptons]], or composite, such as protons and neutrons. Their behavior is governed by quantum mechanics and quantum field theory.<br />
<br />
== Properties ==<br />
<br />
* [[Physics:Quantum particles/mass|Mass]]<br />
* [[Physics:Quantum particles/charge|Charge]]<br />
* [[Physics:Quantum atoms/spin|Spin]]<br />
