Atomic model

tap a particle

Every nucleon is drawn individually — 110 protons and 171 neutrons packed into the nucleus, with 110 electrons on shells outside.

110+1
Protons

Set the element — change this and it becomes a different atom.

1710
Neutrons

Change only these and you get a different isotope of the same element.

110−1
Electrons

Sit outside the nucleus and decide the chemistry, not the element.

Stability

Darmstadtium has no measured radioactive isotope in this lab — its nuclei are stable, so decay must be shown as an illustration.
