Leptons

Fundemental particles that (so far as we know) have no internal structure. Fundemental particles don't experience the strong nuclear force. The various leptons are:-

• Electron
• Electron neutrino
• Muon
• Muon neutrino
• Tau
• Tau neutrino

And each of these has an anti-particle. The neutrinos have no charge. Their mass, and whether they move at or close to the speed of light, is still being debated.
