Steps on how to draw a model element of oxygen?

Answer 1

How to make a model to show the structure of an atom?

To make a model for Oxygen you need:

1. A white A4 size paper

2. Some green, pink and yellow coloured paper

3. A compass, pencil and a pen

4. A pair of scissors

5. A two dollar.

Procedure to make a model for Oxygen:

1. Take an A4 sized white paper and draw 3 circles from the middle with a radius of 5cm, 7cm and 9cmand name them K, L and M as shown below. These are going to be your shells/orbits.

2. Take the two dollar coin and draw the circle on green and yellow paper which is going to be your protons and neutrons. You need eight circles each, as shown below.

3. Then cut circles with the help of scissors as shown below.

4. Take a pen and draw very small circles on the pink coloured paper which is going to be your electrons you need eight circles for oxygen, as shown below. Remember that an electron needs to be much smaller than proton and neutrons.

5. Paste the yellow protons and green neutrons in the inside orbit K, as shown.

6. And now paste two the pink electrons on the orbit L, as shown

7. Now paste the six of the pink on the outermost orbit M.

8. Label the model as electrons, protons and neutrons, as shown.

Answer 2

To draw a model of an oxygen atom, start with a nucleus (protons and neutrons) in the center and surround it with two electron shells. Place two electrons in the first shell and six electrons in the second shell to represent oxygen's atomic number of 8. The electrons should be evenly distributed around the nucleus to show the electron configuration of oxygen.
