PhET Simulation: Isotopes and Atomic Mass

This simulation provides a simple way to model isotopes of the first 10 elements in the Periodic Table. In the most basic model, users click on an atomic symbol to display a stable isotope for that atom. See Related Materials for a lesson plan developed specifically for use with the "Isotopes and Atomic Mass" simulation. This item is part of a larger collection of simulations developed by the Physics Education Technology project (PhET).
