Particle Classification and Properties

The video tutorial covers particle classification, introducing leptons and hadrons as major groups. It explains baryons, quarks, and baryon numbers, and discusses leptons, muons, and their quantum numbers. The tutorial also introduces mesons, including pions and kaons, and concludes with a classification exercise.
