You don't. You may have gotten the idea from the fact that we named both of them with 'matter' in the label. But they don't convert.

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.
What is anything that is not matter?
A thing that not matter is antimatter. It has been created by man.
Was the explosion out of antimatter?
Current physical theory tends to indicate there should be a symmetry expressed in the form of a parity between matter and antimatter created in the Big Bang, with no preference for matter over antimatter; this explosion should have created equal amounts of both, which would then annihilate each other. However, the universe tends to be dominated so far as we can tell by matter and no significant regions of antimatter have yet been detected. This would indicate an asymmetry or bias in favor of matter's creation, which is somewhat mysterious and remains a subject of research. In any case, this bias of matter over antimatter is believed to be extremely small - such that it may have been for every billion particles of antimatter created, there were a billion and one particles of matter.
Does antimatter have a nucleus?
Antimatter is composed of antiparticles in the same way that normal matter is composed of particles. Consider that atoms are composed of protons, neutrons and electrons. An antimatter atom could be composed of anti-protons, anti-neutrons and anti-electrons (which we know as positrons).
What do Antimatter bombs do?
Well, although I don't think they have managed to construct one yet, i do know what they are intending to do... this bomb contains a sealed container with no matter inside, just anti matter inside a vacuum, the antimatter hovers above an electronic flow of energy so the antimatter doesn't fall and hit one of the walls of the container. keep in mind the antimatter is a small speck, now, when the bomb is set to go off, this electron flow stops and the antimatter is let to fall to the bottom of the container where in comes in contact with matter, they go through a process called annihilation where the both matters convert into a mass amount of energy, which is the deadly huge radiant explosion that will occur. The effect would be similar to an atomic bomb put the explosion would be much larger for the amount of material and there would be little to no radioactive fallout. Such a device would release more than three times the energy of the Hiroshima atomic bomb for each gram of antimatter present.
Will antimatter start a black hole?
No, Antimatter while annihilate our matter, meaning that it will completely convert our matter to light and heat, however antimatter is highly theoretical, and the LHC probably will not create any.
How come the universe is made of matter and not antimatter?
That is not currently known. There is a slight assymetry between matter and antimatter, but so far, it seems that this assymetry is not enough to explain why there is only matter, and hardly any antimatter, in the Universe. Without such an assymetry, there wouldn't be either matter or antimatter in the Universe - just radiation. For more information about what is known, and what isn't, check the Wikipedia article on "Baryon asymmetry".
What anti-matter will do to us?
When antimatter meets normal matter, it will disintegrate. For example, a proton and an antiproton will mutually destroy, producing high-energy photons - they convert to "pure energy". A few grams of antimatter would cause an explosion comparable to an atomic bomb.
Why matter overcome antimatter?
That is one of the unsolved problems in cosmology. There seems to be a slight difference between matter and antimatter, that is, the symmetry between matter and antimatter is not perfect. But the details of baryogenesis are not known yet.
Anything that has volume or mass?
Matter, or antimatter.
Why the antimatter disappear in universe?
When antimatter comes into contact with matter, they annihilate each other.
If 1gram body of antimatter meets a 10gram body of matter which survives?

What are two questions physicists have regarding antimatter?
1. Why is there more matter than antimatter in the Universe? Or: Why is there matter at all? (If there were the same amount of matter and antimatter, and it came into contact, it would quickly get destroyed. 2. If antimatter is so abundant, how come we've never come in contact with it or have been able to observe it?
What is the theory of creation of matter and antimatter from nothing?
You are giving the definition for the Big Bang Theory.
How could it B true that matter and antimatter at start of big bang With little amount of matter left in end winning B enough 2 make up all we see today?
In the early universe, matter and antimatter were created in equal amounts. As the universe cooled and expanded, there was a slight imbalance in favor of matter over antimatter. This allowed the matter to survive and form the structures we see today, while most of the antimatter annihilated with matter, resulting in the predominance of matter in the universe.
What is a thing that's not made up of matter?
antimatter and dark matter
What is anything that is not matter?
A thing that not matter is antimatter. It has been created by man.
