This is what I imagined an atom to look like. The orbits go straight in a circle around the nucleus. It closely resembles Bohr’s obit model in 1913 because it has the orbits. Neils Bohr’s atom model is different because I actually didn’t the nucleus in the middle (I just couldn’t find a photo with it) I imagined a ball made of something in the middle.

After studying atoms I learned SO many things. I learned that part of the atom is nucleus. The nucleus is in the middle of an atom. Inside the nucleus there is protons and neutrons. Protons have a positive charge but neutrons have a negative charge. Another part of the atom is electrons (negative charge.) The electrons whiz around the nucleus. Electrons travel in clouds. These are called electron clouds.

If you were to change an atom you would have to add protons and neutrons. If you look on the periodic table of elements you see a little number in the top of each box. Most people think they are just counting them. That is wrong. It is the number of protons in the element. For example, chromium has 24 protons in it.
