Antimatter Chemistry

AI Thread Summary

Antimatter chemistry is fundamentally similar to normal chemistry, as it involves antiparticles that can form antimatter atoms and molecules. However, the study of antimatter primarily falls within the realm of physics rather than chemistry. The interactions and reactions of antimatter are not typically classified as chemical processes. Consequently, the role of chemistry in antimatter is minimal, with most research focusing on the physical properties and behaviors of antiparticles. Overall, while there is a theoretical basis for antimatter chemistry, practical applications and studies are largely physics-driven.

Could you guys please give me examples of how antimatter relates to chemistry?

thanks :)

Antimatter chemistry is (supposedly) the same thing as normal chemistry. I don't know what you mean by "relates", though.

Well as in, what 'chemistry' is there in the topic of antimatter?

None. Antiparticles are mostly studied in physics.

Do we even know? My understanding of dark energy is that particles come into existence, exert and outward force, then vanish. My problem with that is how, of course, then how does dark energy know to push everything in the same direction? The pressure exerted would be in all directions, even if the space was moving so why isn't stuff pushed all over the sky? Thanks - rev
