Proton and Neutron Demonstration

Specification:

The stabilizing effect of the “neutrons” is illustrated by placing them between the “protons”, thereby eliminating the repulsive force. The “protons” are made of disc magnets while the “neutrons” are made of browned iron discs. The “protons” will, because they are magnetized, repel one another when placed on a flat surface or overhead projector. This set is to demonstrate the stabilizing effect of neutrons on the atomic nucleus. The “protons” are supplied with a red marking, the “neutrons” with blue. Supplied as single pieces.
