Weak Nuclear Interaction

Key Stage 5

The weak nuclear force is a force governing the interactions between hadrons and leptons.

The weak nuclear force is one of the 4 fundamental forces governing the interaction between particles.

The weak nuclear force causes the decay of particles into other, more stable, particles.

The weak nuclear force can allow neutrons to decay into protons.

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.
