 Electron diagram |
 |
|
The atomic structure diagram displays a visual representation of the electron structure of an element. The electrons are shown orbiting the nucleus. The number of neutrons and the number of protons in the nucleus is shown. |
 |
Please be aware that this is not to be taken literally, it has been known for a long time that electrons do not orbit the nucleus in this way. |
|
 |
|
The atomic configuration of each element being shown is displayed at the bottom of the screen. The top number is protons+neutrons in the nucleus, the bottom number is the number of protons in the nucleus. The element's symbol, in this case sulfur, is also shown. |
