boson - any particle that obeys Bose-Einstein statistics but not the Pauli exclusion principle; all nuclei with an even mass number are bosons

gluon - a gauge boson that mediates strong interaction among quarks

gravitons - a gauge boson that mediates the (extremely weak) gravitational interactions between particles

intermediate vector bosons - a gauge boson that mediates weak interactions between particles

photon - a quantum of electromagnetic radiation; an elementary particle that is its own antiparticle
