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 the baryon number of an antiproton?

It is -1 as it the opposite of the baryon number of a proton.

What rhymes with photon?

Proton is a good answer. In fact, photons and protons are intimately related --if a proton and an antiproton meet, they will annihilate and produce photons.


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.


How do protons become antiprotons?

They don't. Proton-antiproton pairs are produced from high energy gamma ray photons.


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.


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 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.


Subatomic particle that has a negative electric charge?

It is electron. A proton has positive. think of "P" in proton as "P" in positive. Hope it helped!
