What is spin in particle physics? Choose the most appropriate, precise definition provided.
A trait of all subatomic particles
The trajectory traced by leptons orbiting a nucleus or similar structure
An intrinsic property of all subatomic particles that represents their angular momentum, as well as their symmetry
An intrinsic property of all subatomic particles that determines how they interact with the strong and weak force, as well as the minimum degree of uncertainty in their position and velocity

1/2
1
2

6
7
8
9
Select all the particles that are fermions:
Top
Positron
Photons
Strange
Why was the term "colour" chosen to describe a trait of a particle that interacts with the strong force?
Because all particles have different colours, due to their varying spin
Because the emitted gluons can excite electrons, producing colour
Because the strong force creates different bonds between quarks, each analogous to a different colour
Because colour is the most easily used analogy to describe the SU|3| symmetry of the strong force
What is an antiparticle? Choose the best definition.
Dark matter
Potato matter
A particle with opposing charge but the same mass and spin as its opposite particle
A cross between a lepton and a quark
A Particle with no charge with negative mass and opposite spin, containing dark matter and effectively being the opposite of that said particle.
