==Key Stage 5==
===Meaning===
The '''fundamental forces''' are the 4 ways in which [[particle]]s may interact with one another.

===About Fundamental Forces===
: The '''fundamental forces''' can cause [[particle]]s to change direction or change from one [[particle]] into another.
: The four '''fundamental forces''' are:
:*[[Strong Nuclear Force]] - Experienced only by [[hadron]]s and responsible for holding [[quark]]s together and holding [[proton]]s and [[neutron]]s together in the [[Atomic Nucleus|atomic nucleus]].
:*[[Weak Nuclear Force]] - Experienced by [[hadron]]s and [[lepton]]s and responsible for the [[Weak Nuclear Interaction|decay]] of [[particle]]s including [[Radioactive Decay|radioactive decay]].
:*[[Electromagnetic Force]] - Experienced by [[particle]]s with [[Electrical Charge|charge]]
:*[[Gravitational Force]] - Experienced by all [[particle]]s with [[mass]].

 ===About Fundamental Interactions===
-: The '''fundamental interactions''' can cause [[Subatomic Particle|subatomic particles]]s to change direction or change from one [[Subatomic Particle|subatomic particles]] into one or more other Subatomic [[Subatomic Particle|subatomic particles]].
+: The '''fundamental interactions''' can cause [[Subatomic Particle|subatomic particles]]s to change direction or change from one [[Subatomic Particle|subatomic particles]] into one or more other [[Subatomic Particle|subatomic particles]].
 : During the '''interactions''' certain properties of [[Subatomic Particle|subatomic particles]]s are conserved, including [[Conservation of Baryon Number|baryon number]], [[Conservation of Lepton Number|lepton number]], [[Electrical Charge|charge]] and [[strangeness]] (which is conserved in the [[Strong Nuclear Interaction|strong interaction]] but not conserved in the [[Weak Nuclear Interaction|weak interaction]]).

This '''interaction''' is referred to as 'long range' as extends far beyond the range of [[Atomic Nucleus|atomic nuclei]] and is observed on macroscopic scales, but can be shielded by [[Dielectric|dielectric materials]].

+:*[[Gravitational Interaction]] - Experienced by all [[particle]]s with [[mass]]. This '''interaction''' is extremely weak on the scale of [[Relative Atomic Mass|atomic masses]] but is 'long range' and cannot be shielded, so accumulates with large numbers of [[atom]]s to be observable at macroscopic scales.
