Model Atom
Aim: To make a model atom.
Method:
Choose an atom to make (one between Hydrogen and Neon)
Work out how many protons, neutrons and electrons it has.
Assign protons and neutrons to a particular colour bead.
Get a ball of blue tac and stick the protons and neutrons to this to make your nucleus.
Cut out the appropriate electron shells and draw on the electrons with vivid.
Connect the nucleus and electron shells with a piece of string.
Create a label to go above the model so people know what you have created.
Result:
Discussion:
I made a carbon atom model. It had the atomic number of 6 and the mass number of 12. It has 6 protons, 6 electrons and 6 neutrons. There are 2 electrons in the smaller ring and 4 electrons in the bigger ring. Carbon makes up about 0.025 percent of Earth's crust. It is sometimes considered in the metalloid element category.
Conclusion:
The model atom did work. There is nothing that would need to be done differently.
