How do you build a 3d atom for silver?

Answer 1

I have to do the same thing. I went to Michaels and bought a Styrofoam ball and some "pom pom" ball things for the electrons. I bought wire for the 3 different energy levels. I'm going to put 2 of the pom poms on the first "energy level" and 8 on the next, and 6 on the next. I'm going to color-code them for electrons, neurons, protons, and it'll be good. The three wires for the 3 energy levels will go around the ball in the middle. you want to use pretty colored pipe cleaner to make swirlies sticking out from it. i am doing this for a 7th grade science project due tomorrow.

I hope this helps a little bit.

Answer 2

I did something like this in school. It wont be easy but if you stay at it, it should only take an hour and a half or so.

Materials you will need:

Wire or wire hangers

Wire Cutters

pliers

3 different colors of clay (I will use Red, Blue and green.)

string

Gloves (if needed)

1. make 5 loops of wire. 5 different sizes. the largest should be about 2' across, the smallest about 6"-8" across

2. mould each color clay into 47 little balls (dime sized is good)

3. randomly put together 2 colors of clay (red and blue), but make sure that you keep the ball shape. it should look like a pomegranate when you are done. Tell your teacher that the blue clay balls are neutrons and that the red ones are protons. put this ball aside for now

4. put 2 green balls on the smallest wire loop (These are your electrons in the electron cloud's first layer)

I have run out of time to type the rest, but make the loops look something like this

When you have put on all of the clay balls for each corresponding layer, tie them together with about 2"-3" of room between each layer. the ball you have put aside is the neutron, make sure you string it in there.

that's basically how you do it!

Answer 3

Take a styrofoam ball. Make indents. 1=10.
