Explanation – Fermions are particles with half-integer spins. These particles make up matter and obey the Pauli Exclusion Principle, which states that no two fermions can occupy the same quantum state simultaneously. Examples include electrons, protons, and neutrons. Bosons are particles with integer spins. These particles mediate fundamental forces between fermions and do not obey the Pauli Exclusion Principle, meaning they can occupy the same quantum state. Examples include photons, gluons. Fermions form the building blocks of matter (e.g., atoms and molecules) while Boson’s act as force carriers, facilitating interactions between matter particles.
