===Comparisons of quarks, leptons, and bosons===
Within the Standard Model, there are [[List of particles|several classes of particles]]. One of these, the [[quark]]s, has six types, of which there are three varieties in each (dubbed "[[Color charge|colors]]", red, green, and blue, giving rise to [[quantum chromodynamics]]).

Additionally, there are six different types of what are known as [[lepton]]s. Of these six leptons, there are three [[charged particle]]s: the [[electron]], [[muon]], and [[tau (particle)|tau]]. The [[neutrino]]s comprise the other three leptons, and each neutrino pairs with one  of the three charged leptons.

In the Standard Model, there are also [[boson]]s, including the [[photon]]s and [[gluon]]s; [[W and Z bosons|W{{sup|+}}, W{{sup|−}}, and Z bosons]]; and the [[Higgs boson]]; and an open space left for the [[graviton]]. Almost all of these particles come in "left-handed" and "right-handed" versions (see '' [[Chirality (physics)|chirality]]''). The quarks, leptons, and W boson all have [[antiparticle]]s with opposite electric charge (or in the case of the neutrinos, opposite [[weak isospin]]).
