Composite Particles

They are particles made from the combination of two or more elementary particles. Some examples are Hadrons, atoms, molecules and ions. They can either be bosons or fermions depending on their constituents.

Composite Bosons

They have even number spin. Examples are:

  • Mesons
  • Stable nuclei of even mass numbers, like deuterium, helium-4 (alpha particle), carbon-12 and lead-208

Composite Fermions

They have odd spin. Examples are:

  • Baryons
  • Nucleus of Carbon-13
  • The ATOMs Helium-3, Deuterium
