Hello. I have a few questions to ask you guys. First, what is the purpose of neutrons in an atom? What would happen if all the neutrons in the atom were spontaneously stripped away? Also, what would happen if all the electrons in an atom were spontaneously stripped away?

OK, I think I understand. So, let's say there was an isotope of hydrogen with one neutron. If an atom composed of one anti-proton, one neutron, and one positron were to touch it, they would annihilate. Does the number of neutrons affect whether or not they annihilate?

Hello, I'm new here and I have a question about anti-matter. Does annihilation occur when a particle and it's anti-particle touch, or does any combination of particles and anti-particles annihilate? Can someone help explain this to me?
