“Proton” And “Neutron” Demonstration
Product Code : EL-MM-10999
Quick Answer: “Proton” And “Neutron” Demonstration is a set of disc magnet “protons” and browned iron disc “neutrons” that shows the stabilising effect of neutrons on the atomic nucleus.
Last updated: October 2026
Key Features
“Protons” are disc magnets with a red marking
“Neutrons” are browned iron discs with a blue marking
Magnetised “protons” repel one another on a flat surface or overhead projector
“Neutrons” placed between the “protons” eliminate the repulsive force
Supplied as single pieces

About This Product
Here the Molecular Model idea moves to the nucleus: laid on a flat surface or an overhead projector, the magnetised “protons” repel one another. Placing the iron “neutrons” between them eliminates the repulsive force, so a class can see why neutrons stabilise a nucleus.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q1. How does the set show the effect of neutrons? The magnetised “protons” repel one another on a flat surface or overhead projector; placing the “neutrons” between them eliminates the repulsive force, illustrating their stabilising effect.
Q2. How are the “protons” and “neutrons” told apart? The “protons” carry a red marking and the “neutrons” a blue marking.
