Q

lepton

A

electrons, positrons, muons/antimuons, neutrinos and their antiparticles are classified as leptons because they cannot interact through the strong interaction. they interact through the weak interaction and, in the case of electrons, positrons, muons/antimuons through the electromagnetic interaction
