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 it has.

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 out the appropriate electron shells and draw on 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:

Discussion, Boron: Atomic number =5, mass number =11, Number of protons =5, Number of electrons =5, Number of Neutrons =6

- Electron arrangement: On the inner part of my model atom there was a maximum allowed of two electrons within the 1st ring, on the outer circle aka the second ring there was a maximum of 8 allowed but because of the atom i chose there was only 2.

- 2 facts: Boron has the highest melting point of the metalloids it also has the highest boiling point of the metalloids.

- Conclusion: 

- Did it work: Yes

- What would you do differently? Make sure its more stabilised and take my time to make sure it holds well because it wasn't hanging together too well
