Which Force Only Affects Hadrons?

The other three basic forces
basic forces
In physics, a fundamental interaction (depending on the nature of the interaction, it might also be called a fundamental force) is a process by which elementary particles interact with each other. An interaction is often described as a physical field, and is mediated by the exchange of gauge bosons between particles.
of nature also affect hadron behaviour: all hadrons are subject to gravitation; charged hadrons obey electromagnetic laws; and some hadrons break up by way of the weak force
weak force
In nuclear physics and particle physics, the weak interaction, which is also often called the weak force or weak nuclear force, is one of the four known fundamental interactions, with the others being electromagnetism, the strong interaction, and gravitation.
(as in radioactive decay), while others decay via the strong and the electromagnetic forces
electromagnetic forces
Electromagnetism, science of charge and of the forces and fields associated with charge. Electric forces are produced by electric charges either at rest or in motion. ... Magnetic forces, on the other hand, are produced only by moving charges and act solely on charges in motion.
Hadrons are particles that feel the strong nuclear force, whereas leptons are particles that do not. The proton, neutron, and the pions are examples of hadrons. ... In fact, all particles feel the weak nuclear force. This means that hadrons are distinguished by being able to feel both the strong and weak nuclear forces.
Do hadrons have strong interactions?
holding hadrons together," according to "The Four Forces," physics course material from Duke University. "The fundamental strong interaction holds the constituent quarks of a hadron together, and the residual force holds hadrons together with each other, such as the proton and neutrons in a nucleus."
