More Particles

Here are some more particles! The red one is the top quark and the white one is the electron.

Top Quark: This is the most massive particle of the Standard Model, and thus provides the largest contribution to the mass of the Higgs Boson. This is very important in my explanation of the Hierarchy Problem in my second answer.

Electron: One of the first particles ever discovered. This is an excellent example of a fermion that interacts with the electromagnetic forces.
