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

What is the antimatter equivalent of a proton?

The antimatter equivalent of a proton is an antiproton. It has the same mass as a proton but opposite charge.


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.


What is an antielectron?

An antielectron, also known as a positron, is the antimatter counterpart of an electron. It has the same mass as an electron but carries a positive charge instead of a negative charge. When an antielectron and an electron meet, they annihilate each other, releasing energy in the form of photons.


Matter attracts other matter does antimatter will repel the antimatter?

Antimatter observes and obeys the same fundamental forces that matter does:gravityelectromagnetismweak interactivestrong interactiveA positron, which is the anti-particle of the electron, for example, has the same mass as an electron and experiences the same attraction to all other matter (gravity) as an electron. That same positron is repelled by positively charged particles and attracted to negatively charged particles (electromagnetism).

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 an antihydrogen?

An antihydrogen is an atom of the antimatter equivalent of hydrogen, or the antimatter equivalent of hydrogen as a collective.

What is the antimatter equivalent of a proton?

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.


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.


Is an electron negative?

Unless its positive, in which case it would be a positron which is antimatter.

Who first synthesized antimatter?

The first synthesis of antimatter was achieved by Carl D. Anderson in 1932 when he discovered the positron, which is the antimatter counterpart to the electron. Anderson's discovery provided experimental evidence for the existence of antimatter.
