Properties of Antimatter

As mentioned before, antimatter is essentially the same as matter, but is made of antiparticles.

"For every particle, there is an equal and opposite antiparticle"(minutephysics).
 All the properties of an anti particle are the exact same is the original particle except
for an opposite charge. Atoms also add up to form molecules the same way.
So just like how water is made of two hydrogen atoms and an oxygen atom,
"antiwater" can be made using two antihydrogen atoms and one anti oxygen atom.  

Another property of antimatter is that if a particle and it's corresponding antiparticle
meet, they will destroy each other. This is one of the reasons it is difficult to study
antimatter.
