No. There is really no such thing as negative mass. Even antimatter has mass, which is always a positive (that is, greater-than-zero) quantity. There is, however, the concept of effective mass or apparent mass, which can be negative. When an object is submerged in water, its apparent weight is reduced by an amount equivalent to the weight of water it displaces. For example, if a 10-pound rock is dropped into a bucket of water and displaces one pound of water, the effective weight of the rock under water is nine pounds. But what if you submerge something much less dense than a rock -- say, your little brother's head -- in the bucket? Okay, forget that. Let's says a big ball of Styrofoam, instead. (Not as eco-friendly but less violent.) In that case, the weight of the water displaced by the ball will be far greater than the actual weight of the ball, so when you subtract the weight of the water from the weight of the ball, you'll get a negative number. In other words, the effective weight of the ball under water will be negative, and the ball will tend to rise. It will fight your efforts to submerge it, much as your brother would if you submerged his head (but for reasons other than mere buoyancy).
yes it has the same mass as normal matter.
The annihilation of matter w/antimatter, and
QFT both suggest that like matter, antimatter has positive energy.So, based on that, one can conclude that antimatter must also have
positive mass, since an antimatter particle's mass = E/c^2 and E is
always positive.
No. There's no such thing as negative mass. Electrons have very small masses in comparison to protons and neutrons (about 1/1800 of the proton mass).
No. A negative mass is impossible.
You're probably thinking of electrons, whose mass is much smaller than nucleons but also have a negative charge. Indeed, the electron has the smallest amount of mass of any particle with a negative charge.
Protons have a positive charge and they have mass. Electrons have a negative charge and have almost no mas (it is about 1/2000th that of a proton).
Electrons do have a net charge of negative one. Their mass, however, is only a fraction of 1 atomic mass unit, specifically, 1/1836 amu.
Electrons, small negatively charged particles with very little mass compared to that of the nucleus.
Electrons, muons, and taus having negative charge and a distinct mass each .
Pprotons have a positive charge neutrons have no charge and electrons have a negative charge. However the one with the smallest mass is electrons.

Electrons have a negative charge. When an element had more electrons than protons, it tends to have a negative charge.
The electrons that are missing have a negative effective mass. So the holes have a positive effective mass.
All are elementary particles, with the same mass, negative charged (-1).
All electrons in an atom have: * a negative one charge * 1/2 spin * 0.511 MeV of mass
No, electrons have a negative charge and a different mass than protons; they do however, attract each other due to the positive and negative charges.
No measurable effect at all. The electrons which cause the negative charge have such an unbelievably small mass that billions of them cannot make any observable change to the mass.
Protons have a positive charge and they have mass. Electrons have a negative charge and have almost no mas (it is about 1/2000th that of a proton).
