Model atom - Science

 Model atom

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 

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

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

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

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

7. 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
