How do you make a 3D atomic structure?
Glue two small craft balls to the small circle, eight on the medium circle, eight to the large circle, and then two to the extra-large circle. These will resemble all the electrons on the atom. Attach a piece of string to the outer circle to help the model hang. Enjoy!
How do you make a homemade atom model?
Here’s what you need:
- Ping pong balls or other small round objects of three different colors. Get three times as many balls as the atomic number. You will use one color for the protons, one for the neutrons and one for the electrons.
- String.
- Cardboard large enough to accommodate the model.
- Glue.
What materials do you need to make an atom model?
Collect your materials. You need balls for the nucleus, and possibly, for the electrons. Styrofoam balls are a popular choice, but you can use cotton balls, marbles, small balls of aluminum foil, beads or even candy. Metal coat hangers make good orbitals and sheets of aluminum foil make a good wave model of an atom.
How do you make a 3D model of the periodic table?
3D Periodic Table
- Step 1: Design. The design process went through many iterations and down various dead ends that didn’t work for structural or aesthetic reasons.
- Step 2: Print.
- Step 3: Assemble.
- Step 4: Laser Cut Hexagons.
- Step 5: Install Hexagons.
- Step 6: Make Rotating Stand.
- Step 7: Add Sample Vials.
- Step 8: Illuminate.
Can you make an atom?
Atoms form elements and thus are all around us. We can also make new atoms, by one of the two processes: nuclear fusion and nuclear fission. Fusion is the reaction in which smaller nuclei come together to form larger nuclei. The process of creating atoms is very difficult; in general scientists don’t do this.
What atom is iron made of?
A typical iron atom has 56 times the mass of a typical hydrogen atom. Iron is the most abundant metal, and is believed to be the tenth most abundant element, in the universe….

How do circles model an aluminum atom?
Aluminum’s atomic number is 13, thus each aluminum atom has 13 +(protons) and 13- (electrons). s the 13 electrons outside and at different distances from the nucleus. The red circle represent the nucleus and the black circles represent the energy levels away from the nucleus.
