Reply to comment by ChromaticDragon in As they still have a neutral charge, can antineutrons replace neutrons in a regular atom? by Oheligud

You have answered if an atom can have some neutrons and anti-neutrons at the same time, but that wasn’t really the meat of the question was it? You haven’t answered if an atoms could have all of its neutrons be anti-neutrons. Obviously getting there one at a time isn’t an option, but could it get there in any way? And even if it couldn’t actually get there, could it be a stable solution to our equations that describe the system?

Protons and antineutrons would annihilate each other (forming a lot of pions and a few other particles) basically immediately.

Well that answers it then lol. That single sentence should have been the answer.
