[An anti-proton is the "dark side" to a proton. An anti-proton is formed when a proton was accelerated and then his something solid, breaking it apart.

An electron is a negatively charged subatomic particle.]

This is somewhat correct, but my understanding is that A proton is a structure of Two Up quarks (uu) and a Down quark (d) and a positron, or anti-electron. an antiproton has the same mass as a proton, and instead is made of two U-Bar Antiquarks and one D-bar antiquark, and an electron. I am not sure if this is completely correct, but if a proton and a antiproton, sometimes called a negiton, are combined they will Annihilate each other, creating a burst of energy. Quantum physics is a wierd science, so I could be very wrong indeed.

What is the difference of a light microscope and a scanning electron microscope?

A light microscope uses visible light to magnify and view specimens, offering lower magnification and resolution compared to a scanning electron microscope (SEM) which uses a focused beam of electrons to image the sample, providing higher magnification and resolution. SEM can produce 3D images of the sample surface while light microscopes typically provide 2D images.


What is the anti-matter equivalent of an electron?

No. The antiparticle for the proton is called antiproton. The antiparticle for the electron is called antielectron, also known as positron.

What is the difference between nucleophiles and electrophiles?

electrophiles are the electron deficient species whereas nucleophiles are the electron rich specie .the other difference is that electrophiles are the electron loving species and nucleophile are electron hating.
