I have to do some vitual important presentation in the topic of chemistry, I had chosen the topic "antimatter", but soon I found that was a physics, how can I do it in a chemistry way ? but not physics ?
It is important for me to enter the college, please help...

If you can change the topic I would highly recommend that. If you can't, you can explain why anti-matter "chemistry" is essentially meaningless. If antimatter interacts with regular matter it immediately explodes. So when scientists do make tiny tiny tiny amounts of antimatter, they make it as a plasma (for example, antiprotons are anti-hydrogen nucleii stripped of all of their electrons and count as plasma). Since the particles are charged they can be manipulated by magnetic fields for safe storage where they do not interact with regular matter, only with the magnetic field. In order to do chemistry you need real "atoms"--i.e. you need electron orbiting the nucleus in regular matter, or positrons orbiting the nucleus in antimatter. Chemistry is all about the electrons. Since putting the electrons (or positrons in antimatter) back on the nucleus would make uncharged atoms or antiatoms they would fly right through the magnetic fields containing them and immediately explode. So you could potentially explain that for your presentation.

In theory, the chemistry of antimatter would be just like the chemistry of normal matter.

2 anti-H2 + 1 anti O2 ---> 2 anti-Water

Obviously attempted chemistry between matter and antimatter species would result in annihilation of matter and the release of vast amounts of energy, and is probably moot.

I'd choose another topic.

no longer precisely. the main factor to anti-count is consist by employing the alternative of proton, neutron and electrons. It observed as anti-count by way of fact each and every time the got here in touch, they're going to be destroyed, produce (in short) a organic skill. Anti-count has existed in the universe in view that its very advent. The early universe is a conflict zone the place anti-count and count crumple, crush, destroyed. yet, there's a particular ration between anti-count and count that produce a super distinction which permit us to be like us in the present day. Anti-count existed, so a tactics as I accepted, on the solar. approximately your comments of discovering, the only way we are in a position to inspect its habit is that we've an extremely sturdy microscope-like device, which makes it impossible to inspect it quickly. yet, only with the commonly used technology sooner or later, we are in a position to probable see them. think of approximately retaining it! understand that only non-count which could carry it. So, how? actual this is uncomplicated. only use electric magnetism to maintain it in a vacuum. only in case, the implementation of this anti-count might lead the two (or the two) radiation device or as a unfavourable bomb in conflict. that's, if we are in a position to create them. by employing the way, the place did you detect that the scientists have been employing anti-count? this is only a concept so a tactics as i understand.
