Elementary particles are the basic building blocks of matter and energy. They are the smallest known particles that make up everything in the universe, including atoms and subatomic particles.
The mass of elementary particles can vary greatly, ranging from the very light neutrino with a mass of less than 0.00000000001 grams to the much heavier top quark with a mass of around 173 billion electron volts (eV).
Elementary particles interact with each other through four fundamental forces: gravity, electromagnetism, strong nuclear force, and weak nuclear force. These forces determine the behavior and interactions of particles in the universe.
According to the law of conservation of mass and energy, elementary particles cannot be created or destroyed. However, they can be converted from one form to another through processes such as particle collisions or radioactive decay.
Scientists use particle accelerators, such as the Large Hadron Collider, to study elementary particles. These machines accelerate particles to high speeds and then collide them, allowing scientists to observe the particles and their interactions in more detail.
