Atomic Structure.
🎯 Your mission
Play with the model. Break it. Understand it.
⚡ The twist
Color changes mean atoms are rearranging — even if you can't see them.
Mind = Blown
🌈 Every color you see is your brain inventing a translation of light frequencies.
Make a hypothesis first
Before you mix: what color do you think it'll turn?
