No. The antiparticle for the proton is called antiproton. The antiparticle for the electron is called antielectron, also known as positron.

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 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.
Why is antimatter called the God particle?
The true name of the so called (by non specialists) god particle is the Higgs boson; this particle was predicted but not discovered until now. The Higgs boson is not the equivalent of the antimatter.
What the difference between positive and negative electrons?
an electron always has a negative chargea positron is identical in all respects to an electron (sometimes it is called a "positive electron"), except it always has a positive charge and is antimatter (not matter)If an electron and a positron meet they will both cease to exist (annihilation) and gamma ray photons will be created.
Who discovered antimatter?
The person who discovered antimatter was Paul Dirac. Paul Dirac.
In an atom of antimatter what would be the charge of an electron?
An atom of antimatter does not contain any electrons. The equivalent of an electron in antimatter is a positron, which has charge +1.
Are positrons negative or positive?
Positive, positron's are the antimatter equivalent of an electron and therefor the charge is reversed.
What is the antimatter version of an electron?
positron
What is an antihydrogen?
An antihydrogen is an atom of the antimatter equivalent of hydrogen, or the antimatter equivalent of hydrogen as a collective.
What is a positrin?
A positron is the antimatter counterpart of an electron, with a charge exactly opposite to the electron. Like other antimatter particles if it comes into contact with its matter counterpart the two will mutually annihilate.
Why is artificial antimatter less volatile than natural antimatter?
It isn't less volatile, it is exactly the same. As soon as an electron (for example) meets an anti-electron, they will both disintegrate - whether the positron (anti-electron) is artificial or natural.
Is an electron negative?
Unless its positive, in which case it would be a positron which is antimatter.
What are the antimatter equivalents of an electron a neutron and a proton?
Positron, antineutron, antiproton
What is an antilambda?
An antilambda is the antimatter equivalent of a lambda particle.
What are positive electrons in science?
A positive electron is called a positron and it is a form of antimatter. It has the same mass and typical properties as a normal electron, but it has the opposite charge.
What is a type of radioactive decay that involves emission from the nucleus of a high speed antimatter particle that is a counterpart of the electron?
This is beta decay, specifically beta plus decay. The beta particle that appears is the positron, which is the antimatter particle of the electron. Links can be found below for more information.
When matter created gravity as antimatter why not create anti-gravity?
"Antimatter" is not negative mass. Mass is a positive quantity for both matter and antimatter. So gravity is always attractive, even if one of the masses in the relationship happens to be antimatter. If such a thing as negative mass exists, then the forces between it and a lump of normal mass would be repulsive ones. Antimatter is observed routinely, but no evidence of negative mass has ever been observed. When matter & antimatter annihilate energy is released per E = mc2 where m corresponds to the sum of their masses. If the antimatter had negative mass then instead of a positron/electron annihilation releasing energy corresponding to twice the electron mass (as it does) the mass of the electron and negative mass of the positron would cancel resulting in no energy release (this does not happen). This proves that both matter & antimatter have positive mass, without even referring to gravity. As they both have positive mass their gravity will be attractive not repulsive.
