How To Make A 3d Model Of An Atom

3d atom models are a common science project and craft made to help understand how certain atoms work.

How to make a 3d model of an atom. Line up two of the balls on this second ring with the two balls from the first ring. Create the third ring. Today we are sharing a step by step method to create an oxygen atom model for science projects. You will need glue scissors cardstock string 40 large craft balls 20 of one color for the protons and the other 20 for the neutrons thats a different color and 20 small craft balls for the electrons.

We had to figure out how to make the individual carbon atoms and the circle for the electrons to go around the nucleus. Carbon atoms contain 6 neurons 6 protons and 6 electrons. Use a short pipe cleaner to attach these balls together. An oxygen atom is heavier than a hydrogen or a helium atom and even heavier than a carbon atom.

Styrofoam balls metal rings paint glue thread tape i got all of these at michaels. Method 1of 3building a calcium atom model. It was for my science project. This way you keep the same distance between the electrons and the core depicting the energy levels while creating a three dimensional model.

It has 18 electrons. Place two electron balls on the tip of the two wooden skewers. Stick the other end of two wooden skewers on the core facing different directions. Carbon is the sixth most common element in the universe.

All i spent is about. Arrange a third circle of evenly spaced small balls to fit around the second ring.
