So, my understanding of particle physics is rudementary at best, but I got to thinking that since anti particles are electrically opposite to normal particles, the electromechanical forces within an atom would be identical in magnitude if the charges were reversed. So theoretically there could be anti hydrogen, anti helium.etc. My question is, if a body in space was constructed of antimatter, how could we tell outside of sending normal matter and seeing if the sample gets annihilated.

All this is based on my assumption that anti atoms can exist, if they can't I would appreciate an explanation as to why.
