Protons are particles with a positive electric charge. As of now, science has concluded that there is no proton opposite (or, as we call them, 'antimatter particle') residing in the nucleus. However, some theoretical physicists theorize that the antimatter particle for a proton could be a subatomic particle called a 'negatron'. A neutron, incidentally, is neutral, and has no overall charge, and is not the opposite of a proton, contrary to assumed mass belief.

What is the opposite of an acid?

The chemical opposite is a base (alkaline substance). Bases and acids generally neutralize each other. The literal opposite of an acid would be a neutral substance that had no reaction potential. This would differ for different reactions.
