This in my model of an atom. It closely resembles Democritus’s and J.J. Thompson idea of what atoms look like because it has all different shapes and sizes but most of it is in the same color, it also looks like J.J. Thompson’s model of what he thought atoms looked like known as the chocolate chip cookie that he make to show his idea on atoms. After studying atoms in science I under stand that they are different colors, mostly the same size and shape, and that they are packed with energy. The middle of an atom is called the nucleus, in the nucleus is protons and neutrons. Protons are positively charged, so they carry positive energy. Neutrons are like the fat of the atom they add mass, that is why they are called neutrons because they are neutral not positive not negative. Circling the nucleus are electrons, they carry negative energy, they are an one hundredth of a proton. Electrons are in an electron cloud. The amount of protons you have in an atom decides what type of atom it is. One of the craziest things I have learned about atoms is that billions of atoms create us and we are made out of atoms.
