antineutron

Meanings

1. 1
   noun

   the antiparticle of the neutron, with the same mass and no net electric charge but opposite baryon number

   An antineutron can annihilate with a neutron and produce other particles.

Formed from anti- + neutron. Although both neutron and antineutron have no net electric charge, their constituent quarks and additive quantum numbers distinguish particle from antiparticle.
