Fermions:
Spin: Fermions have half-integer values of spin, such as 1/2, -1/2, etc. Examples of fermions include quarks and leptons.
Pauli Exclusion Principle: No two fermions can occupy the same quantum state simultaneously. This principle prevents fermions from being in identical states within a quantum system.
Constituents of Matter: Fermions are the building blocks of matter. Quarks combine to form protons and neutrons, which constitute atomic nuclei. Leptons, such as electrons, are fundamental particles that do not participate in the strong nuclear force.
Antiparticles: Fermions have corresponding antiparticles with opposite quantum properties. For example, the antiparticle of an electron (a fermion) is a positron.
Fermi-Dirac Statistics: Fermions obey Fermi-Dirac statistics, a set of principles describing the statistical distribution of particles in a system of non-interacting, indistinguishable particles with half-integer spin.

Bosons:
Spin: Bosons have integer values of spin, such as 0, 1, -1, etc. Examples of bosons include photons, gluons, and the Higgs boson.
Bose-Einstein Statistics: Bosons obey Bose-Einstein statistics, allowing multiple particles to occupy the same quantum state simultaneously. This is in contrast to fermions, which obey the Pauli Exclusion Principle.
Force Carriers: Many bosons act as force carriers in fundamental interactions. For example, photons mediate electromagnetic forces, gluons mediate the strong nuclear force, and W and Z bosons mediate weak nuclear interactions.
Formation of Quantum Fields: Bosons are associated with the concept of quantum fields, and their exchange between particles mediates the fundamental forces that govern interactions in the universe.
