Difference between Matter and W and Z bosons

Matter vs. W and Z bosons

In the classical physics observed in everyday life, matter is any substance that has mass and takes up space by having volume. The W and Z bosons are together known as the weak or more generally as the intermediate vector bosons. These elementary particles mediate the weak interaction; the respective symbols are,, and.
