I would say nothing/emptiness is the antonym of matter, but depending on the context antimatter might be a good choice.

Antimatter’s definition is “a hypothetical form of matter that is identical to physical matter except that its atoms are composed of antielectrons, antiprotons, and antineutrons.” I do not believe that is an antonym for matter.

NO, J is very wrong. The definition of antimatter is: MATTER composed of antiparticles. The “anti” comes from the “antiparticles” which refer to subatomic particles that resemble typical ones such as electrons, protons, etc. but have the opposite charge..
