What could be an “antiatom” made up of?
What could happen if antimatter made of such anti-atoms, came in contact of normal world of matter.
Answer to Problem 3Q
Solution:
Antiatoms are made of up of anti-proton and positron
When matter and antimatter come in contact they annihilate each other and the mass combining matter and anti-matter converts in energy.
Explanation of Solution
Anti particles are made up of antiprotons and positrons. In matter we have positively charged nucleons (made up of proton and neutrons)and when antimatter and matter come in contact, they annihilate each other and the mass of combining matter and antimatter converts into energy. This energy is releases in the form of photons.
Conclusions:
Anti-atoms are made up of the antiprotons and positrons. When matter and antimatter come in contact, they annihilate each other and the mass combining matter and antimatter convert in energy.
