Follw these directions in the simulation:
Select the "Atom" activity.
Click and drag one proton (red) and one neutron (gray) onto the atom in the center of the screen.
Notice that the message above and right of the atom reads "+ ion". Click and drag electons (blue) onto the atom until the message changes to "Neutral Atom".
Answer the questions below by stating how many electrons you would need to make a "neutral atom" and the element name.
IMPORTANT: Please format your answer as such "# of electrons, name of element"
Example: 2, Helium

Where did the proton (red) end up in the atom?
The proton is in the nucleus (center) of the atom.
The proton is in orbit around the outside of the atom.
Where did the neutron (gray) end up in the atom?
The neutron is in the nucleus (center) of the atom.
The neutron is in orbit around the outside of the atom.
Where did the electron (blue) end up in the atom?
The electron is in the nucleus (center) of the atom.
The electron is in orbit around the outside of the atom.
