Atom Model

 Aim: To make a model atom

Method:

1. Choose an atom to make (one between Hydrogen and Neon)

2. Work out how many protons, neutrons and electrons it has.

3. Assign protons and neutrons to a particular colour bead.

4. Get a ball of blu tack and stick the protons and neutrons to this to make your nucleus.

5. Cut out the appropriate electron shells and draw on the electrons with vivid.

6. Connect the nucleus and electrons shells with a piece of string.

7. Create a label to go above the model so people know what you have created.

Discussion: 

As you can see from the paper above the atom, it says BE which means beryllium and there are two numbers one at the top and one at the bottom. The top number is the atomic number you probably can't see the atomic number on the photo because I had no room, anyways the atomic number shows how much protons and electrons there are and the atomic number for beryllium is 4 making it have 4 protons and 4 electrons. Moving on to the bottom number (the mass number) is to show how much protons and neutrons there, as we know we have 4 protons and our mass number is 9 so that makes it so there are 5 neutrons together, forgot to mention that the middle part of an atom is called the nucleus and the nucleus is made out of protons and electrons. In the photo, you can see two rings and you're probably questioning that right now, the rings are for the electrons spinning around the nucleus, on the pink ring which is the 1st one there are 2 electrons and you can only have 2 of them on the 1st ring. The 2nd ring is another 2 electrons but you can have up to 8 electrons on that ring but since this is beryllium it has 2 on this ring.    

Conclusion:

To sum up everything I will explain my errors from the process of making my atom. My atom kinda formed weird since the tape was all mashed and mucked up, but eventually, I got it right and next time I would change the ways I use my tapes.
