Making An Ion
The Making An Ion interactive allows students to explore the question of how atoms become ions. Visually observe the process and begin to build a model pertaining to ions, charge, and electronic stability. Start the simulation and pick an atom, and have phun Ionizing or Neutralizing it.
Users are encouraged to open the Interactive and explore. For a more guided experience, The Physics Classroom has prepared an activity for use with this Interactive and encourages teachers to use it with their classes.
