Atomic model
tap a particleEvery nucleon is drawn individually — 94 protons and 150 neutrons packed into the nucleus, with 94 electrons on shells outside.

Protons
Set the element — change this and it becomes a different atom.
1500
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.
