Meaning

The weak nuclear interaction is the mechanism governing how hadrons and leptons affect one another.

About The Weak Nuclear Interaction

The weak nuclear interaction is one of the 4 fundamental forces governing the interaction between subatomic particless.
The weak nuclear interaction causes the decay of particles into other, more stable, subatomic particless.
The weak nuclear interaction can allow neutrons to decay into protons.
The weak nuclear interaction is mediated by the W-boson and Z-boson.
The effective range of the weak nuclear interaction is smaller than the diameter of a proton.
