Prefix of antonym

In English, opposite words have "un", "in" "dis" or "non" in the biginning of its word, such as "unstable", "incredible", "disregard", "nonblank" and so on. I think there are more... Why does it depend on the word? Please get everything from one prefix!

In my previous article, I wanted to write an antonym of "mature". First I wrote "unmature" but there was no such a word. Hmmm... Then finally I found. It was "immature". Ahhh---! It's "im", not "in"?
Uhh, another prefix...
