Atomic model

tap a particle

Every nucleon is drawn individually — 76 protons and 114 neutrons packed into the nucleus, with 76 electrons on shells outside.

76+1
Protons

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

1140
Neutrons

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

76−1
Electrons

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

Stability

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