Answer:
The Weak Nuclear Force
The weak nuclear force is a force of interactions between quarks and leptons, both of which are fermions with spin 1/2. The force only affects particles which are spinning counter-clockwise while going away. In other words, the weak nuclear interaction affects left-handed particles. (and right-handed anti-particles) Leptons come in electron, muon, and tau flavors of charge -1, each with associated neutrinos of neutral charge. Quarks appear as the up and down, charm and strange, and top and bottom flavors. The flavors are conserved, and weak interactions transform leptons to other leptons and quarks to other quarks, while preserving this conservation.
The weak nuclear force has a limit in range of only 10 to the -18th meters. This means that the carrier particles must indeed have mass. The weak nuclear force is found to have three carrier particles, two W bosons, one charged -1 and one charged +1, and the electrically neutral Z boson. The W bosons have a mass of 80.22 GeV/(c squared), and the Z boson has a mass of 91.187 GeV(c squared). All cariers have a spin of 1, however. The weak force, as its name implies, is weaker than the
