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.
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.
A negative charged proton?
An "anti-proton".
If there is no neutron or proton what is the most massive part of an atom?
the anti-proton
What has a mass slightly less than that of a neutron?
A proton (or anti-proton).
What happens to a proton and an anti proton during a collision?
They convert in to two photons
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.
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 is the difference between an antiproton and an electron?
[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.
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 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.
