The Atomic Model

When I made my atom I was thinking about how I’ve always pictured it in my mind. I have seen models similar in other videos, but never an exact replica of my idea. My model may not really go with the recent idea of an atom, but it is close. Before the outer space study, I didn’t really know a lot about atoms and how they were created. With more of an understanding, my idea became more clear. When I was making my atom I was thinking, how could my model work? Does this make sense? I figured out that it is mostly based off of discoveries of the protons and electrons being scrunched up together, in a ball.

I think my atom looks like Niels Bohr’s version of, particles staying in a certain spot and orbiting electrons and protons, 1913. I think this because in my picture there are these rings with moving electrons and protons inside of them.

In science class I learned that the middle of an atom is called the nucleus. In the nucleus there are protons and neutrons. Protons give out positive energy, and neutrons give out neutral energy. Around the nucleus, there is something called the electron cloud. In the electron cloud, there are electrons, which give out negative energy. All of these things create todays understanding of the atom.
