The negatron.
The antimatter equivalent of a proton is an antiproton. It has the same mass as a proton but opposite charge.
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).
A positron is the antimatter counterpart of an electron, with a positive charge, while a proton is a subatomic particle found in the nucleus of an atom, with a positive charge.
No, antimatter does not possess negative mass. Antimatter has the same mass as regular matter, but opposite charge.
The charge of a proton is +1 elementary charge, which is equivalent to approximately 1.6 x 10^-19 coulombs.
The antimatter equivalent of a proton is an antiproton. It has the same mass as a proton but opposite charge.
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).
An antihydrogen is an atom of the antimatter equivalent of hydrogen, or the antimatter equivalent of hydrogen as a collective.
Positron, antineutron, antiproton
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.

A positron is the antimatter counterpart of an electron, with a positive charge, while a proton is a subatomic particle found in the nucleus of an atom, with a positive charge.
The sub atomic particles to an atom are the proton (p), neutron (n). The p and n both contribute to atomic mass. The positive charge comes from the p and outside the atom in orbit is/are the electron with negligible mass, but negative charge.
An antilambda is the antimatter equivalent of a lambda particle.
Previous answer "The existence of antimatter is just a lower less advanced form of dark matter" this is completely wrong, Antimatter is quite the opposite of 'normal' matter. It is made up of positrons that orbit around the nucleus in shells and have a positive charge. Anti-proton (a proton with a negative charge) and neutrons stay the same as they have no charge and are in fact neutral. dark matter is simply matter that doesn't give out light
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.
AnswerThe difference between a proton and a positron is threefold. First, the proton is much more massive (a bit over 1800 times) than a positron. Second, the positron is an elementary particle (though it is antimatter), while the proton is made up of three elementary particles called quarks (two up quarks and one downquark). Third, the positron is antimatter while the proton is "regular" matter. Protons are stable particles (they are hydrogen-1 nuclei), and positrons are produced in positron emission (a type of radioactive decay) or in pair production (where a high energy gamma ray "splits" into an electron and a positron when passing near an atomic nucleus). After a positron appears, it will eventually (and in a relatively short period) combine with an electron in an even called mutual annihilation, and both particles will be converted into energy.Both the proton and positron have a charge of +1, and you can review more information by using the links below to the related questions about the proton and the positron.AnswerA proton is a particle found in the nucleus. It has a positive charge of +1. (Depending on how versed you are, this is equivalent to + 1.60 x 10-19 C of charge). The proton actually is comprised of three smaller subatomic particles called quarks, two up quarks (+2/3) and one down quark (- 1/3). The electron on the other hand is a fundamental particle in that it is not made up of anything smaller (that we know of yet). It has a -1 charge (again - 1.60 x 10-19 C). A positron, however, is antimatter. It is the antimatter of an electron. For intents and purposes it is an electron with a positive charge. If an electron and a positron should interact, they would annihilate one another.
