An atom is the smallest part of matter and it cannot be further broken down
into two. The atoms of different elements found in nature possess a certain, set
number of protons, electrons, and neutrons. Creating an atomic model should be a
fun activity for kids. For beginners, it is better to use an element with less
number of these atom components.
The level of difficulty of making an atomic model will depend on the theory
that you will refer. The scale modeling technique cannot be used, since
maintaining the exact proportion in model creation is not possible. Four models
of atomic structure have been designed by scientists. They are the planetary
model, Bohr model, refined Bohr model, and the Quantum model. The Quantum model
is the latest and most widely accepted atomic model. However, it is difficult to
build a structure based on this atomic model. This is because, unlike in other
atomic models, the position of electrons in the Quantum model is not fixed. In
the planetary model, electrons are depicted as revolving in a circular orbit
around the nucleus. As per the Bohr model, electrons revolve around the nucleus
not in a single circular orbit. Instead, the electrons revolve close to or away
from http://www.balenciagatop.com/ nucleus, depending on the
energy levels they fit into.
The information presented in this article states the steps that need to be
followed to make an atomic model. For the sake of this article, we focus on the
nitrogen atom. A nitrogen atom is formed of 7 protons, 7 neutrons, and 7
electrons. These components (protons, neutrons and electrons) are neither too
less nor too great in number. Creating a model of this atom should therefore, be
easy for kids.
In the planetary model parts of an atom, the protons and neutrons are
situated at the center. The central portion of an atom is known as nucleus.
Electrons Balenciaga Bag
Sale revolve around the nucleus in a circular path. This revolution
of electrons resembles that of planets in the solar system. A wooden base
measuring 8 sq. inch. would suffice. This base helps in mounting all components
of the atom. To make the protons, neutrons, and electrons, you require spherical
objects. Let us understand the process of making such a model in a stepbystep
manner.
First drill a hole in the wooden base. This hole should be at the center of
the wooden base. The hole made in the wooden base should be used to glue a rod.
The rod is meant for mounting the nucleus of the atom. A foam ball needs to be
used for making the nucleus. Cut the foam ball into two halves. This will help
in depicting components present inside the nucleus.
One of the halves of this foam ball should be glued to the wooden rod. After
the nucleus has been made, it is time to make the protons, and neutrons. The
Styrofoam balls used to make the protons and neutrons need to be smaller in size
than the one used for nucleus. The balls used as protons can be given different
colors than those meant for neutrons.
