2. Knowing the charge of a proton and the charge of a neutron, predict what types of quarks are present within protons and neutrons
Model the quarks within a proton
Model the quarks within a neutron
Model a stable nucleus with 2 protons and 2 neutrons (He-4)
Model an unstable nucleus with 2 protons and 0 neutrons (He-2)
Provide an explanation to this prompt: What determines an atom's stability? When is an atom stable/unstable?
