  2. Lepton number - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lepton_number

    In particle physics, lepton number (historically also called lepton charge) [1] is a conserved quantum number representing the difference between the number of leptons and the number of antileptons in an elementary particle reaction. [2]

  3. Mathematical formulation of the Standard Model - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mathematical_formulation...

    Similarly, the muons and their neutrinos are assigned a muon number of +1 and the tau leptons are assigned a tau lepton number of +1. The Standard Model predicts that each of these three numbers should be conserved separately in a manner similar to the way baryon number is conserved. These numbers are collectively known as lepton family numbers ...

  4. X and Y bosons - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/X_and_Y_bosons

    Similar decay products exist for the other quark–lepton generations. In these reactions, neither the lepton number (L) nor the baryon number (B) is separately conserved, but the combination B − L is. Different branching ratios between the X boson and its antiparticle (as is the case with the K-meson) would explain baryogenesis. For instance ...

  5. Flavour (particle physics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flavour_(particle_physics)

    In some theories, such as the grand unified theory, the individual baryon and lepton number conservation can be violated, if the difference between them (B − L) is conserved (see Chiral anomaly). Strong interactions conserve all flavours, but all flavour quantum numbers are violated (changed, non-conserved) by electroweak interactions .

  6. Ligand bond number - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ligand_bond_number

    Based on the covalent bond classification method (from where LBN is derived), the equation for determining ligand bond number is as follows: LBN = L + X + Z. Where L represents the number of neutral ligands adding two electrons to the metal center (typically lone electron pairs, pi-bonds and sigma bonds. Most encountered ligands will fall under ...

  7. Tau (particle) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tau_(particle)

    The tau (τ), also called the tau lepton, tau particle or tauon, is an elementary particle similar to the electron, with negative electric charge and a spin of ⁠ 1 / 2 ⁠.Like the electron, the muon, and the three neutrinos, the tau is a lepton, and like all elementary particles with half-integer spin, the tau has a corresponding antiparticle of opposite charge but equal mass and spin.

  8. Lepton - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lepton

    In particle physics, a lepton is an elementary particle of half-integer spin (spin ⁠ 1 / 2 ⁠) that does not undergo strong interactions. [1] Two main classes of leptons exist: charged leptons (also known as the electron-like leptons or muons), including the electron, muon, and tauon, and neutral leptons, better known as neutrinos.

  9. Hapticity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hapticity

    The η-notation is encountered in many coordination compounds: Side-on bonding of molecules containing σ-bonds like H 2: W(CO) 3 (P i Pr 3) 2 (η 2-H 2) [8] [9] Side-on bonded ligands containing multiple bonded atoms, e.g. ethylene in Zeise's salt or with fullerene, which is bonded through donation of the π-bonding electrons: K[PtCl 3 (η 2-C ...
