With reference to the Higgs Boson, consider the following statements:

It is also popularly referred as “the God Particle\".

It has a short lifespan.

It is positively charged.

It is the only elementary particle with no spin.

Which of the statements given above are correct?

Question

The Higgs boson is the fundamental particle associated with the Higgs field, a field that gives mass to other fundamental particles such as electrons and quarks.
It is also popularly referred as “the God Particle\".
The Higgs boson has a mass of 125 billion electron volts, meaning it is 130 times more massive than a proton.
It has a short lifespan. Once it is created during the particle collisions, it sticks around for merely less than a trillionth of a billionth of a second or, more precisely, 1.6 x 10-22 seconds.
The Higgs boson is chargeless.
Higgs boson, has an intrinsic angular momentum, or spin, of 0. The Higgs Boson is the only elementary particle with no spin.
