==Key Stage 5==
===Meaning===
'''W-bosons''' ('''W''') are a type of [[boson]] which mediates the [[Weak Nuclear Interaction|weak interaction]] when [[Electrical Charge|charge]] is exchanged between [[Subatomic Particle|particles]].

===About W-bosons===
: The '''W-boson''' is denoted with an upper case '''W'''.
: The '''W-boson''' may carry [[Positive Charge|positive charge]] as the W<sup>+</sup> or [[Negative Charge|negative charge]] as the W<sup>-</sup>.
