Meaning
Any particle that obeys Fermi-Dirac statistics and is subject to the Pauli exclusion principle.
Classification
Nouns denoting natural objects (not man-made).
Examples
- Protons are examples of fermions that obey Fermi-Dirac statistics, unlike photons, which follow different rules.
- Electrons, as a fundamental fermion, make up part of atoms along with quarks.
- Leptons are considered to be among the types of elementary fermions present in particle physics.
- Protons, which consist of two up quarks and one down quark, exhibit characteristics unique to all fermions.
- All elementary fermions including the strange and top quark also contribute to larger fermions called hadrons and bosons contribute in gauge and force mediators of physical phenomenon in Universe
