Question

b. play around, and write down three examples of atoms that have a stable nucleus and include a screenshot of your nucleus. (3pts per atom)

number of particles in your nucleus:	take a screenshot of your atom	what element is it?
2. protons: _ neutrons:_

Explanation:

Step1: Recall hydrogen - 1

Hydrogen - 1 has 1 proton and 0 neutrons. It is the simplest atom with a stable nucleus. The element is hydrogen.

Step2: Recall helium - 4

Helium - 4 has 2 protons and 2 neutrons. It is a very stable atom and is a noble gas. The element is helium.

Step3: Recall carbon - 12

Carbon - 12 has 6 protons and 6 neutrons. It is the most abundant isotope of carbon and is stable. The element is carbon.

Answer:

Number of particles in your nucleus:	Take a Screenshot of your atom	What element is it?
Protons: 2<br>Neutrons: 2	(Screenshot not provided here, but should be of a nucleus with 2 protons and 2 neutrons for helium - 4)	Helium
Protons: 6<br>Neutrons: 6	(Screenshot not provided here, but should be of a nucleus with 6 protons and 6 neutrons for carbon - 12)	Carbon
