text: There are two types of fundamental atomic particles Hadrons and Leptons, hadrons composed of quarks as proton and neutron, leptons are themselves fundamental particles and are indivisible, electron is a lepton and not the quark.
text: muons and electrons are part of Leptons
text: The electron is a lepton, very similar in structure to the proton and neutron, but differing in the string type used to create its core structure.
text: In physics, the proton-to-electron mass ratio, μ or β, is simply the rest mass of the proton (a baryon found in atoms) divided by that of the electron (a lepton found in atoms).
text: So therefore, when we apply our equation for lepton number to the electron, we know that an electron being a lepton has one lepton in it.
text: And that since an electron is purely a lepton, it has zero antileptons.
text: That’s the lepton number of an electron, which itself is a lepton.
text: Likewise, when a W− boson decays into an electron and an antineutrino, lepton number is conserved because the W− boson is a non-lepton, the electron is a lepton, and the antineutrino is an antilepton.
text: But as far as the standard model of particle physics is concerned, the electron and the muon, which are both leptons, behave the same.
