-<note tip> +Quantum numbers are what we use to label elementary particles and their values are crucial for the behaviour of particles ​in experiments
-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+ 
-</​note>​ +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. ​
