==Key Stage 5==
===Meaning===
The '''weak nuclear force''' is a [[force]] governing the interactions between [[hadron]]s and [[lepton]]s.

===About The Weak Nuclear Force===
: The '''weak nuclear force''' is one of the 4 [[Fundamental Force|fundamental forces]] governing the interaction between [[particle]]s.
: The '''weak nuclear force''' causes the [[Radioactive Decay|decay]] of [[particle]]s into other, more stable, [[particle]]s.
: The '''weak nuclear force''' can allow [[neutron]]s to [[Radioactive Decay|decay]] into [[proton]]s.
: The '''weak nuclear force''' is mediated by the [[W-boson]] and [[Z-boson]].
: The range of the '''weak nuclear force''' is smaller than the [[diameter]] of a [[proton]].
