The Standard Model
This is also known as the "Quark/lepton" model. It is a theory that explains all the hundreds of particles and complex interactions. It is based on the following numbers of:
1 2 3 4 5 6 quarks 1 2 3 4 5 6 antiquarks
1 2 3 4 5 6 leptons (e.g. electrons) 1 2 3 4 5 6 antileptons e.g.
and a number of also known as exchange bosons.
Matter and Antimatter
Antiparticles look and behave just like their corresponding matter particles, except they have opposite
A matter particle has exactly the same as its antiparticle
When a matter particle and antimatter particle meet, they into pure energy
