Introduction
So far, we have briefly mentioned many elementary particles to illustrate a number of physical phenomena related with them. This may create confusion, as it is very difficult to remember all names, properties and numbers related to the specific type of charge contained in an elementary particle.
Scientists have classified elementary particles in groups in order to have an easier understanding of them. Such classification is made based on the types of interaction elementary particles experience during their lifetime. In this tutorial, we will try to clarify the reasons of such approach and the ease derived from the classification mentioned above when dealing with elementary particles. In addition, a number of new elementary particles and properties of already known ones are provided and explained.
