Atomic model

tap a particle

Every nucleon is drawn individually — 82 protons and 125 neutrons packed into the nucleus, with 82 electrons on shells outside.

82+1
Protons

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

1250
Neutrons

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

Electrons

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