1. Gluon

   A gluon ( GLOO-on) is an elementary particle that acts as the exchange particle (or gauge boson) for the strong force between quarks. It is analogous to the exchange of photons in the electromagnetic force between two charged particles. Gluons bind quarks together, forming hadrons such as protons and neutrons. Gluons are vector gauge bosons that mediate strong interactions of quarks in quantum chromodynamics (QCD). Gluons themselves carry the color charge of the strong interaction. This is unlike the photon, which mediates the electromagnetic interaction but lacks an electric charge. Gluons therefore participate in the strong interaction in addition to mediating it, making QCD significantly harder to analyze than quantum electrodynamics (QED).

1. gluon

   A gluon is a fundamental particle that mediates the strong force, one of the four fundamental forces in physics responsible for holding atomic nuclei together. Gluons, which belong to the family of particles called bosons, are considered the “exchange particles” for the color force between quarks, similar to how photons are exchange particles for the electromagnetic force. They are massless and always in motion, allowing them to hold particles together in the nucleus of an atom.

1. Gluon

   Gluons are elementary particles that act as the exchange particles for the strong force between quarks, analogous to the exchange of photons in the electromagnetic force between two charged particles. In technical terms, they are vector gauge bosons that mediate strong interactions of quarks in quantum chromodynamics. Gluons themselves carry color charge, unlike the colorless photon, and therefore participate in the strong interaction in addition to mediating it, making QCD significantly harder to analyze than QED.
