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.


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 a type of radioactive decay that involves emission from the nucleus of a high speed antimatter particle that is a counterpart of the electron?

This is beta decay, specifically beta plus decay. The beta particle that appears is the positron, which is the antimatter particle of the electron. Links can be found below for more information.


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).


What are the differences between a positron and a proton?

A positron is the antimatter counterpart of an electron, with a positive charge, while a proton is a subatomic particle found in the nucleus of an atom, with a positive charge.


What is an antilambda?

An antilambda is the antimatter equivalent of a lambda particle.


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.


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


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.


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.
