An **antibaryon** is any particle made of three antiquarks. - - A **meson** is a hadron made of exactly one quark and one antiquark. + - A **meson** is a hadron made of exactly one quark and one antiquark involved in the **strong** interaction. - A **fermion** is any particle with mass (hadrons or leptons) Gluons (strong force) only interact with quarks, which are heavier, more tightly bound elementary particles. There are six quarks with different properties:
