PARTICLES vs.

ANTIPARTICLES
Every matter particle has a corresponding antiparticle.

Antiparticles have the same mass of the particle but opposite electric charges!

Mass 0.5 MeV/c2 0.5 MeV/c2


Charge -1 1

Electron Positron

Antimatter is made up of antiparticles!

For example, the neutron - one of the particles that makes up atoms
and matter - is made out of quarks.

Neutron Antineutron
The antineutron is made out of antiquarks!
COLOUR THE ANTIPARTICLES!
Colour the antimatter particles in the opposite colour of the matter particles!
