No. Not under normal conditions.

It is true that protons within the nucleus attract each other due to the residual binding energy left over from the binding energy that holds quarks together to form protons and neutrons, but that force does not extend beyond the nucleus before the electromagnetic force, a repulsive force, would override the residual binding energy.

In order to bind protons from different nuclei together, more formally, different nuclei together, you need nuclear fusion, and that requires high temperature and high pressure, first to ionize the atom and strip away the electron shells, and second to bring the nuclei close enough together that the residual binding energy can overcome the electromagnetic force.

How do you make an atom model of beryllium?

To make a simple atom model of beryllium, you can use two small Styrofoam balls representing protons and two small Styrofoam balls representing neutrons in the nucleus, with two larger Styrofoam balls representing electrons orbiting around the nucleus. You can attach these components together with toothpicks to represent the atomic structure of beryllium.
