+Quantum numbers are what we use to label elementary particles and their values are crucial for the behaviour of particles in experiment.
-Explanations in this section should contain no formulas, but instead colloquial things like you would hear them during a coffee break or at a cocktail party.

+For example, an electron is defined by the following quantum numbers
+  * mass: $9,109 \cdot 10^{-31}$ kg
+  * spin: $\frac{1}{2}$
+  * electric charge: $1,602 \cdot 10^{-19}$ C
+  * weak charge, called weak isospin: $-\frac{1}{2}$
+  * strong charge, called color charge: $0$
+These labels determine how a given elementary particle behaves in experiments. The techincal term for these labels is quantum numbers.
