==Key Stage 5==
===Meaning===
'''Anti-particles''' are small units of [[anti-matter]].
===About Anti-particles===
: Many [[particle]]s have '''anti-particle''' counterparts which have the same [[mass]] but opposite [[Electrical Charge|electrical charge]].
: During [[Pair-Production|pair-production]] a [[particle]] and its [[anti-particle]] appear.
: When a [[particle]] meets its [[anti-particle]] they [[Annihilation|annihilate]] one another producing a pair of [[photon]]s.
: Most '''anti-particles''' are given the name of its counterpart [[particle]] with the addition of the prefix '''anti'''. However, the '''anti-particle''' counterpart of the [[electron]] is known as the [[positron]].
