What is the antimatter equivalent of an proton?
The antimatter equivalent of a proton is called an antiproton. Antiprotons have the same mass as protons but carry the opposite charge. When a proton and an antiproton collide, they can annihilate each other, releasing a large amount of energy in the process.
How much does one gram of antimatter?
Anti matter does NOT exist. As soon as it is in contact with matter which is anything ; solid , liquid , gas, they are both annihilated. You can think of antimatter as protons with a negative charge and electrons with as positive charge. So Proton^+ Proton^- = Annihilation (??? Energy) Electron ^- + electron^+(positron) = Annihilation (???? Energy).
Why is antimatter called the God particle?
The true name of the so called (by non specialists) god particle is the Higgs boson; this particle was predicted but not discovered until now. The Higgs boson is not the equivalent of the antimatter.
What is an antiproton?
An anti-proton is a particle, the opposite of a proton. In theory every particle has an anti-particle and if a particle collides with it's anti-particle they wll both be destroyed and a large amount of energy will be released. Anti-protons were first made in a laboratory in 1955, and are routinely made in high energy particle accelerators today.
Who discovered antimatter?
The person who discovered antimatter was Paul Dirac. Paul Dirac.

What is an antihydrogen?
An antihydrogen is an atom of the antimatter equivalent of hydrogen, or the antimatter equivalent of hydrogen as a collective.
Which element has negative charged proton?
All protons have a positive charge. The antimatter equivelant to the proton, the antiproton, has a negative charge. Every element of matter (hydrogen, helium, etc.) has an equivalent antimatter element (antihydrogen, antihelium, etc.) and just as every element of matter has a proton in its the nucleus (which, again, is positively charged), every corresponding anti-element has an anti-proton in its nucleus (which is negatively charged). There are also theoretical "hybrid" elements (called exotic elements of atoms) consisting of both matter an antimatter components, such as a proton and antiproton orbitting each other (this is called Protonium).
What are the antimatter equivalents of an electron a neutron and a proton?
Positron, antineutron, antiproton
What is an antilambda?
An antilambda is the antimatter equivalent of a lambda particle.

In an atom of antimatter what would be the charge of an electron?
An atom of antimatter does not contain any electrons. The equivalent of an electron in antimatter is a positron, which has charge +1.
What is the opposite of protons?
Protons are particles with a positive electric charge. As of now, science has concluded that there is no proton opposite (or, as we call them, 'antimatter particle') residing in the nucleus. However, some theoretical physicists theorize that the antimatter particle for a proton could be a subatomic particle called a 'negatron'. A neutron, incidentally, is neutral, and has no overall charge, and is not the opposite of a proton, contrary to assumed mass belief.
What is the existence of antimatter?
Previous answer "The existence of antimatter is just a lower less advanced form of dark matter" this is completely wrong, Antimatter is quite the opposite of 'normal' matter. It is made up of positrons that orbit around the nucleus in shells and have a positive charge. Anti-proton (a proton with a negative charge) and neutrons stay the same as they have no charge and are in fact neutral. dark matter is simply matter that doesn't give out light
Subatomic particle that contributes mass and a positive electrical charge to an atom?
The sub atomic particles to an atom are the proton (p), neutron (n). The p and n both contribute to atomic mass. The positive charge comes from the p and outside the atom in orbit is/are the electron with negligible mass, but negative charge.
If 1gram body of antimatter meets a 10gram body of matter which survives?
Initially the 9g of remaining matter would survive. Each particle of antimatter can only annihilate with one other particle of antimatter. At this point the 1g of antimatter would cause an explosion equivalent to that of 200000 pounds of TNT. Causing both groups of matter and antimatter to be obliterated.
Who thinks there are smallnegitive lay charged particles inside an atom?
I do, along with all scientists and educated people in the world know that an atom of matter contains tiny negatively charged particles. They are called 'Electrons'. In antimatter, the proton equivalent carries a negative charge.
