Is antimatter real?
Yes it is. This does not mean that it has the properties ascribed to it in any particular work of fiction (Star Trek's version is reasonably realistic, Green Lantern's version is hopelessly silly), but yes, something by that name does really exist. ************************************************************************* Antimatter is real. Some scientists believe that antimatter is a perfect symmetry to matter. Antimatter is very dangerous and powerful. When matter and antimatter collide, an annihilation happens. Things around it will disappear.
What happens when a charged particle is placed in the electric field of another particle with the same charge?
they either attract or repel
What happens to the particles if the size of the particle is increased?
They become bigger!
What happens when a charged particle is placed in an electric field of another particle with the same charge?
There is a force repelling the two charges apart.
If you add heat energy to a substance what happens to the speed of the particle motion?
The particle speed increases.The energy increases; the speed increases.
When matter created gravity as antimatter why not create anti-gravity?
"Antimatter" is not negative mass. Mass is a positive quantity for both matter and antimatter. So gravity is always attractive, even if one of the masses in the relationship happens to be antimatter. If such a thing as negative mass exists, then the forces between it and a lump of normal mass would be repulsive ones. Antimatter is observed routinely, but no evidence of negative mass has ever been observed. When matter & antimatter annihilate energy is released per E = mc2 where m corresponds to the sum of their masses. If the antimatter had negative mass then instead of a positron/electron annihilation releasing energy corresponding to twice the electron mass (as it does) the mass of the electron and negative mass of the positron would cancel resulting in no energy release (this does not happen). This proves that both matter & antimatter have positive mass, without even referring to gravity. As they both have positive mass their gravity will be attractive not repulsive.

What happens when a particle an its corresponding particle of antimatter meet?
If a quark and anti-quark collide, they could scatter. But it is also possible (with increasing probability at lower energies) that they undergo what is called mutual annihilation. In mutual annihilation, both particles are converted entirely into energy. Quarks, it should be noted, cannot exist by themselves. It should also be noted that there are some particles created by quark-antiquark pairs. These particles, like the J/psi meson, are short-lived, but do exist. Investigators are still working on a better understanding of quarks and the relationship between the strong, weak and electromagnetic interactions.
How do you artificially create antimatter?
when energy travelling at the speed of light (its possible to reach that speed with a single particle) comes in contact with something, it can reach up to extreme temperatures and the energy can be converted into matter. when this happens, both matter and anti matter is born.. pairs so matter got created by energy smashing into stuff, like other energy or matter, basicly, there is the same amount of matter and antimatter because they are created in pairs.
What happens if antimatter gets sucked into a black hole?
Just the same as if normal matter falls in. The matter or antimatter will stay there, increasing the mass of the black hole (and making it more "hungry", i.e., making its gravity stronger).
What happens to capillarity as particle size increases?
As particle size in increases, capillarity decreases

What happens to the particle in a substance when it is cooled?
i. dont.know
What happens when an air particle pushes against another air particle?
The air particle with the greater force moves the other air particle in the general direction it was moving
What happens to a positively-charged alpha particle that comes near the positively charged nucleus?
This particle is rejected.
What happens to a positively-charge alpha particle that comes near the positively-charged nucleus?
This particle will be rejected.
What happens to a particle in a gas when heated?
It moves Faster.
