I cannot directly interact with external websites, including the PhET simulation tool you mentioned. However, I can guide you on how to create an oxygen atom and two additional atoms of your choice. Here's how to do it step by step:
### Building an Oxygen Atom
1. **Open the PhET Simulation**: Go to the provided link.
2. **Select Oxygen**: Oxygen (O) has an atomic number of 8, which means it has 8 protons and 8 electrons. It typically has 8 neutrons as well for the most common isotope (O-16).
3. **Build the Atom**:
- Drag and drop 8 protons into the nucleus.
- Drag and drop 8 neutrons into the nucleus.
- Surround the nucleus with 8 electrons. You can place them in energy levels (shells) around the nucleus.
#### Resulting Oxygen Atom:
- Protons: 8
- Neutrons: 8
- Electrons: 8
### Drawing an Oxygen Atom
You can sketch an Oxygen atom like this:
```
Electron
-
O — O Electron
-
E E
o N Protons: 8
- N
N
```
**Labeling**:
- The central part is the nucleus, containing 8 protons and 8 neutrons.
- The electrons are shown surrounding the nucleus in the energy levels.
### Building Two Other Atoms
You can choose any elements. Here are two examples with their details:
#### 1. Carbon Atom
- **Atomic Number**: 6
- **Composition**:
- Protons: 6
- Neutrons: 6 (common isotope, C-12)
- Electrons: 6
#### 2. Sodium Atom
- **Atomic Number**: 11
- **Composition**:
- Protons: 11
- Neutrons: 12 (common isotope, Na-23)
- Electrons: 11
### Conclusion
After building these three atoms, you can copy the formulas or screenshots of their representations from the PhET simulation into the "Edit Background" section as instructed.
If you need further help with any specific details or if you have other questions, feel free to ask!
