Leptons have mass.According to special relativity, no particle with mass can travel at or faster than the speed of light. It would take infinite energy to do so.
Carbon atom contains only 6 protons. It is become unstable when number of neutrons are increasing.
Definatly not! A Neutron is a kind of Baryon (a type of Hadron) made up of the subatomic particles: Up quark, Down quark and Electrons. Now a Neutrino is different, there are three different types. There are Electron Neutrinoes, Muon Neutrinoes, and Tau Neutrinoes. Neutrinos are a type of Lepton, for every Neutrino there is a equivalent non-neutrino. For example, There is an Electron and an Electron Neutrino. So to conclude Neutrino does not mean Neutron, instead it is describing a type of Lepton. This should answer the Question.
unstable
no
The wavelength of a lepton is inversely proportional to its momentum, which is related to its energy and mass. The spin of a lepton is a fundamental property intrinsic to the particle itself, independent of its momentum or wavelength.

There is currently no scientific evidence for any constituents of an electron. So, for now, the electron is a lepton (a lepton is any fundamental particle).
Lepton
An electron is a Lepton - it doesn't have any smaller parts.
Lepton is the common name given to electron, positron, neutrino, antinuetrino, mu-meson [muon] etc. So an atom has these elementary particles within and come out in specific circumstances.
Leptons are just called that: "leptons". (One example of a lepton is an electron.)
A bilepton is any of a proposed form of gauge boson with a lepton number of two.
In the first nanoseconds after the big bang there was only light energy in the universe. As the energy spread out and the universe cooled these photons of light energy decayed into a type of lepton called an electron. These are the most common types of lepton we can observe today.
That should be the lepton. The electronic lepton (e-) to be accurate. More information: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lepton
Because the electron is a lepton, and is not made of quarks.
If it's the name of a person, place, or organization, it should be a proper noun and capitalized. If not, then not.
