Elementary particles are the smallest known particle. It is commonly thought that protons, neutrons and electrons are the smallest units that make up larger matter, but this is untrue. They are the building blocks from which everything in the universe is made.

In physics, elementary particles are described by the Standard Model:

​ All elementary particles are either fermions or bosons. The particles that make up matter are fermions, while the particles that are force carriers are called bosons. Quarks and Leptons are Fermions and the Boson group is composed of Guage Bosons and other bosons.

Composition of Matter Each large object of matter is compsed of all the smaller parts. From big to small: =Matter > Atom > Nucleus > Proton and Neutron -> Quark=
