antiparticle
Charge-reversed twin particle
An antiparticle is a subatomic particle with the same mass as its corresponding particle but opposite charge and quantum properties.
When a particle meets its antiparticle, they annihilate each other, releasing energy.
The antiparticle of the electron is the positron; the antiparticle of the proton is the antiproton.
Antiparticles make up antimatter.
