Description
🔍 Explore
Investigate how two atoms attract, repel and settle at particular separations.
🎮 Try It
Choose different atom pairs and drag the movable atom while watching distance and potential energy. Show the total force or its attractive and repulsive parts. Select Adjustable Attraction to change interaction strength and atom diameter.
🎯 Your Mission
Find a separation where the atoms are close to equilibrium. Move the atom slightly closer and farther, predict the force direction each time, then check with the force arrows.
🌍 Real-World Connection
Atomic forces help set the spacing and strength of particles inside materials.
