Actually, most people do call it a noble gas. I often do but both terms are correct. Also, I'm from Canada (pretty close to America I guess) and it's not really noticed if people say inert or noble gas.
YOU ARE THE BAST SCRATCHER EVER!

Well really, we have no idea what an atom looks like. An atom is so tiny it will be a long while before we have technology to view it, if we ever do. So we can't REALLY be certain that any part of it is a sphere or even how it is structured. If you were to put all of the earth's water in drinking glasses and counted them, the number of molecules of water in a single glass would be greater than than the number of glasses. That's pretty small.
It doesn't have a lot of things really. The shells would be hard to make because the atoms are so large it wouldn't be distinguishable. I haven't used Scratch in a while now and I'm not sure if I'll ever get around to updating most of my projects. It takes up too much power even to show 8 electrons so I think this one is abandoned.
I really would like to try but my computer has enough trouble with just 10 electrons. I'd also like to wait for more feedback before going ahead and making each element then realizing I have to change something on every single one.
Download the 13 sprites and 36 scripts of "Elements" and open it in Scratch
Project Notes
Visual representation of the first 10 elements of the periodic table. The center shows the atomic number, name, symbol, group and mass of the element. The electrons can be seen flying around the center.
Click the arrows to change the element and click'n'drag to move the atom.
I'd like some input on what I'm missing for data. I rounded the mass to the nearest 1 to show the most common isotope. I show the electrons of a neutral atom (same number electrons as protons), but I think I will have to only show valence electrons because it takes so much power to show even 8.
Layering messes up quite a bit with so many orbitals to manage.

Don't you mean "noble gas" not inert gas? Maybe it's an americanism I don't know.
I'm pretty sure "inert gases" is just an archaic term.
Actually, sorry. I got it a little wrong. Noble gases ARE the elements, but inert gases are pretty similar.

(view all replies)Electron Clouds! :D Wonderful orbit movement. It'd probably take me forever to figure that out.
Very cool! Wonderful elliptical motion!
cool. I have a question... was this for school?
Nope. None of my projects have ever been made for school.

Cool!
awesome
hmmm, it doesn't appear to have separate electron shells.

(view all replies)Wow! I am satisfied with this!
Cool! Really neat! My science teacher will love this!
mayb could u show the protons and neutrons? or is that too hard? or just wright it?
The protons is in the atomic number, the number of neutrons is the mass minus the protons. It would be too difficult to visualize.
(view all replies)good
cool
This is great! Really useful and and educational, too!
Try the whole table now.

(view all replies)This would help with chemistry
wow really neat! :) loveit!
