The antiparticle of a neutron is called an antineutron, while the antiparticle of an electron is a positron. It's clarified that the antiparticle of a proton is an antiproton, not a positron. Most particles have their antimatter counterparts prefixed with "anti," such as antineutron for neutron. The discussion suggests using online resources like Google or Wikipedia for further information. Understanding these relationships is crucial in particle physics.

I know the anti-particle of a proton is a positron.

But what is the anti-particle of a;

-Neutron
-Electron?

Unfortunately, the antiparticle of a proton is NOT a positron. It's an antiproton. The positron is the antimatter counterpart of the electron. Except for the electron, the antimatter counterparts of most particles are simply denoted as anti(name of particle). For instance, the antiparticle of a neutron is simply the antineutron.
 


why don't you just google or look up at wikipedia?
