This Java simulation is the original version of PhET's Build An Atom. Its purpose is to help learners understand atomic structure as they drag protons, neutrons, and electrons to construct an atom. As particles are moved into place in the nucleus or the electron orbitals, the simulation automatically displays the net charge, mass number, atomic symbol, and name of the element. After practicing with atom-building, users can test their skills against the clock in a game with four levels of increasing difficulty. See Related Materials for a link to the HTML5 version of Build An Atom.
