What existed before antimatter?
the question makes no sense, anti matter is produced when energy is converted into matter. no matter what, when energy converts into matter both matter and anti matter is created, and they can unite once more to be converted back into energy, basicly, ther is the same amount of anti matter particles as there are normal matter particles, but that's a diffrent story
Can a nucleon be either a neutron or a proton?
A nucleon means either a proton or a neutron, yes. However it is conceivable that the word will be extended to mean anything forming the nucleus of an atom. For example researchers in CERN have managed to produce anti-hydrogen. The nucleus of such an atom would be an anti-proton. It might be reasonable to call that one a nucleon as well.
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 is anti-matter?
AntimatterAntimatter could be considered the opposite of "normal" matter. We know that the matter that is all around us and makes us up is built of atoms, and these atoms are made up of protons, neutrons and electrons. In antimatter, atoms would be constructed of anti-protons, anti-neutrons and anti-electrons (which we know as positrons). As electrons orbit a nucleus of protons and neutrons in the "regular" matter we know, positrons would orbit a nucleus of anti-protons and anti-neutrons to make up antimatter atoms. We currently use anti-electrons (positrons) on a regular basis in the medical application we know as PET imaging. Additionally, we use anti-protons in nuclear research. The Large Hadron Collider runs with protons and antiprotons circulating in the acceleration ring (in opposite directions), and then "collided" in an experimental area packed with sensors and detectors.It should be noted that matter and antimatter don't "like" each other. Any "contact" between the two leads to mutual annihilation. In the case of the positron, which is produced in beta plus decay, that positron will eventually "run into" an electron, and mass of the two particles will be entirely converted into energy. Links have been included for further investigation, and you'll find them below.

What differs between a regular proton and an anti matter proton?
An anti-matter proton (or simply an "anti-proton") differs in charge, and thus spin as well.
A negative charged proton?
An "anti-proton".
Can you get mater and antimatter from nothing?
So you have nothing in your hand. That means zero. From the zero you can have X and minus X. So X minus X equal to zero. So from nothing you get the energy and anti-energy in equal quantity. So it is the property of space to produce energy and anti-energy from nothing. The quantity is very less in a given space in a given time. But the space is unending and the time is with out the limit. So you get the sizable quantity. Your universe is probably very tiny. So by simple logic you get large amount of energy and exactly equal amount of anti-energy. So from energy you get matter and from anti-energy you get anti-matter. So with every proton produced, you get one electron produced in the space. This is there to maintain the electrical neutrality. So when one anti-proton is produced you get one positron in the space. With every neutron that is produced in the space, you get one anti-neutron. The number of neutron and anti-neutrons produced can not be determined by this theory. So you get matter and antimatter from nothing. It fallows that you get nothing from matter and antimatter. That means matter and antimatter annihilate each other simultaneously. Both formation and annihilation of matter and anti matter goes hand in hand in the space at any given time.
If there is no neutron or proton what is the most massive part of an atom?
the anti-proton
What happens to a proton and an anti proton during a collision?
They convert in to two photons
What is the anti-matter equivalent of an electron?
The anti-matter equivalent of an electron is a positron. Positrons have the same mass as electrons but have a positive charge. When a positron and an electron collide, they annihilate each other, releasing energy in the form of gamma rays.
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.
Are antimatter weapons possible?
Yes, but anti-matter is extremely expensive to make for the amount of energy that can be produced from it. Therefore anti-matter weapons are not feasible.
What happens when atoms collide?
No one knows...yet. The LHC (large hadron collider) will be telling us this, but we probably won't know any results until about 3 years from now. You can look up the LHC on any search engine and do a bit of research and conclude for yourself what you think will happen. It's like playing roulette. No one knows. But, to kind of get you started, here is a video that may spark your interest a little bit more. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j50ZssEojtM
What is quarks?
Q:What happens when quarks and anti-quarks collide?A: They explode, same with protons and anti-protons, neutrons and anti-neutrons, electrons and positrons.
Will there be an increase in mass during beta decay in nucleus?
If you are asking whether the nucleus' mass would increase, the answer is no. Beta decay involves emission of an electron from the nucleus. This happens when a neutron converts to a proton, an electron, and an anti-neutrino. A neutron is heavier than a proton, and the anti-neutrino carries away some energy with it, so the mass of the nucleus decreases.
What proton has a charge that is opposite the charge of?
An electron? No, the Anti-proton is the negative charged opposite of the positively charged Proton.
