Fundamental Particles

Mr. Anderson's video on AP Physics Essentials covers fundamental particles, explaining that they have no internal structure. He discusses how atoms are composed of subatomic particles like electrons, protons, and neutrons, and delves into the quarks that make up protons and neutrons. The video explains the properties of quarks, such as mass, spin, and charge, and how these contribute to the overall charge of protons and neutrons. It also introduces other fundamental particles like photons and neutrinos. The video concludes with an overview of the standard model and recent discoveries in particle physics, such as the Higgs boson.
