From fundamental assumption (I) and the law of conservation of charge (or baryon number), it is proved that the charge (or baryon number) of stable hadrons is quantized. It is proved from fundamental assumption (I), the conservation of strangeness (or charm), and the assumption of associated production that the strangeness (or charm) of stable hadrons is quantized. The Gell‐Mann‐Nishijima relation is deduced in theory. The intrinsic properties of resonance are determined by all laws of conservation. The quantization of volume in space is equivalent to the quantization of charge (or baryon number) in strong interaction. The conclusions of the theory are completely consistent with experimental results. Finally, many new particles are predicted.
