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
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 the appropriate electron shells and draw in 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.
Results -
For the model of the atom, I chose to do carbon
Discussion -
The atomic number for carbon is 6 and the mass number is 12. There are a number of 6 protons,6 electrons, and 6 neutrons.
2 facts about carbon -
Carbon gets its name from the Latin word carbo, which means "coal."
Carbon occurs naturally as carbon-12, which makes up almost 99 percent of the carbon in the universe
Conclusion -
Yes it did work and I wouldn't have changed anything
