leptons do not have
quarks as component particles , leptons are themselves a family of particles ,
they are family of particles with no quark, leptons have special characteristics
that differentiate them from quarks, they do not take part in strong
interactions. electrons , muons and neutrinos are examples of leptons. leptons
like quarks are of six types, they are electrons, electron neutrinos, muon,
muon neutrinos, tau and tau neutrinos.
leptons are also
grouped into generations ( 1st , 2nd and 3rd )
with electrons and electron neutrinos forming the 1st
generations 2nd the muonic generation
comprising of muon and muon neutrino and lastly the tau and tau neutrinos
