Anti matter?

Question

What are the properities of anti matter? What makes it so "anti"?
If anti hydrogen and hydrogen anniallate each other, what do anti hydrogen and oxygen do?

and how do we store anti matter?

Answer 1

Most anti-matter is made out of positrons, anti-protons, and anti-neutrons, just like matter is made from electrons, protons, and neutrons. There are also anti-matter versions of other subatomic particles, but those are not directly relevant for this question.

An atom of anti-hydrogn would consist of an anti-proton and a positron. An oxygen atom consists of 8 electrons, 8 protons, and 8 neutrons. The positrons and the electrons would annihilate each other, emitting either 2 or three gamma rays each time. The anti-protons would interact with either the protons or the neutrons (it is the quarks inside that actually interact) and emit a bunch of various mesons, gamma rays, positron/electron pairs, etc.

It should be pointed out that a proton and an anti-proton are not all that likely to completely annihilate each other since they are likely to be blown apart after the initial interactions of their quarks. This produces a spray of mesons, gamma rays, etc.

Answer 2

Ant-matter is not theoretical... here is how it works.....

Simply put, antimatter is a fundamental particle of regular matter with its electrical charge reversed. The common proton has an antimatter counterpart called the antiproton. It has the same mass but an opposite charge. The electron's counterpart is called a positron.

Antimatter particles are created in ultra high-speed collisions.

One example is when a high-energy proton in a solar flare collides with carbon, Share explained in an e-mail interview. "It can form a type of nitrogen that has too many protons relative to its number of neutrons." This makes its nucleus unstable, and a positron is emitted to stabilize the situation.

But positrons don't last long. When they hit an electron, they annihilate and produce energy.

So the cycle is complete, and for this reason there is so little antimatter around at a given time.

There is a building in the US I think Nevada. They creat anti-matter there. It is a large circular building where the elements together travel at great speed. This tube they are in keeps them moving, if one were to slow down they would become unstable.

Answer 3

Each elementary particle has a special partner called its anti-particle that has the same mass but the opposite electric charge. For matter particles with non-zero charge, the particle and its anti-particle are two distinct objects that can be told apart in experiments.

What happens when matter encounters anti-matter ? That depends on exactly which two particles collide, as you can see by exploring the connections in the diagrams below.....you should try to think about why the particles interact the way they do.

Answer 4

It is matter that is composed of atoms which are electrically changed opposite of normal matter. The electron is positively changed and the proton is negatively changed. One prevailing theory is that it was created at the time of the Big Bang in almost the same quantities as matter, but since there was slightly more of it, after all the matter and anti matter annihilated each other, the matter we see is the surplus that survived.

Answer 5

We don't really know, since anti-matter is pretty much theoretical. They may have created some, but it has such a short life span (measured in seconds or even shorter amounts of time) that it is hard to study it.

Answer 6

when you discuss the concept of anti matter and non space and the like you begin to cross over from science and physics into the metaphysical and religon

"anti matter" is just a term for a substance that is in another dimension that we cannot understand

Answer 7

count is what makes you me and merely approximately each little thing else which would be seen touched or smelled dark count is merely the call they supply to a minimum of a few thing that they haven't any thought what that's, so that they call it dark count because of the fact it doesnt work together with regualr count in any respect, the only way all of us understand of this is because of the fact of its gravitational outcomes. type of like how all of us understand approximately black holes even nonetheless we cant see them yet we come across them because of the fact of their gravity. Antimatter is fairly comparable to count, merely the expenses are reversed so if count and anti-count come into touch they ruin one yet another, and anti count isn't imaginary, this is been created interior the laboratory so that's fairly actual.

Answer 8

Anti matter is the opposite of Uncle matter. It is usually seen with mom matter and occasionally dad matter.

Answer 9

Anti-matter is when a proton revolves around an electron. Matter is when an electron revolves around a proton.

Answer 10

The atoms of antimatter have neg. charged Protons,and pos.charged electrons(in der orbits.)I think antihydrogen n oxygen wil annihilate,too,levvin some neutrons,protons n electrons.(4m d oxygen atom)
When they annihilate,they release energy in d form of pure light.
