Simulation of alpha particles scattering – Geiger–Marsden gold foil experiment

Simulation of Alpha particle scattering experiment What the simulation shows An interactive recreation of the 1909 Geiger–Marsden gold foil experiment. Alpha particles are fired from the left toward a gold atom. A dashed circle shows the atom boundary and electron cloud, with a small dense gold nucleus at the centre marked with a positive charge. […]

Simulation of Atom models – Plum pudding model, Nuclear model and Bohr’s model

Simulation of the Atom models – Plum pudding model, Nuclear model and Bohr’s model What it does Three tabs, each showing a different historic model of the atom on an interactive canvas: Plum Pudding (Thomson, 1904) — a glowing purple positive-charge cloud with 8 electrons drifting and wobbling inside it. Purely animated, no interaction needed

Simulation of energy levels of an atom – absorption and emission

Simulation of Energy levels to demonstrate that: “The electron arrangements may change with the absorption of electromagnetic radiation (move further from the nucleus; a higher energy level) or by the emission of electromagnetic radiation (move closer to the nucleus; a lower energy level).” What the simulation does The simulation models the hydrogen atom using the Bohr model

Simulation – build isotope, Atomic number and mass number

Simulation Description: build Isotope, Atomic number and Mass number Isotope Builder — Simulation Students drag protons and neutrons into a nucleus. The element is identified live by proton count, and the isotope name (e.g. Carbon-14) updates instantly as neutrons are added. The same element with different neutron counts visually demonstrates what an isotope is. Class

Simulation – Atomic number and mass number

Simulation Description: Atomic number and Mass number Mass Number & Atomic Number — Simulation Two sliders let students adjust protons (1–18) and neutrons (0–22). The screen updates instantly showing the element symbol and name on a periodic-table-style tile, the live equation A = Z + N, and a colour-split bar showing the proton/neutron ratio in
