Quarks interact via the strong force, but leptons do not. Both quark and leptons interact via the electromagnetic, weak, and gravitational forces. Elementary particles are classified into fermions and boson. Fermions have half-integral spin and obey the exclusion principle. Bosons have integral spin and do not obey this principle.
It turns out that the elementary particles that “carry” the fundamental forces are all bosons: these are the photons (elementary particles of light, which carry the electromagnetic force), gluons (ele...It turns out that the elementary particles that “carry” the fundamental forces are all bosons: these are the photons (elementary particles of light, which carry the electromagnetic force), gluons (elementary particles that carry the strong nuclear force, responsible for binding protons and neutrons together), and W and Z bosons (particles that carry the weak nuclear force responsible for beta decay).
