How to Build Atoms
- Adjust protons to change the element (atomic number)
- Neutrons create isotopes and affect stability
- Electrons determine the atom's charge
- Observe individual protons and neutrons in the nucleus
- Try creating Hydrogen (1p), Helium (2p), Carbon (6p), Oxygen (8p), or Gold (79p)
