i am making a model of alluminum. i think that i have to show the electrons, protons, and neutrons, but im not sure. my teacher doesnt really tell us anything. i am not really sure how i should make this. could someone help me out? i have styrofoam balls and a posterboard but i dont know how to make it with a posterboard, so i was just gunna make a model and not put it on the poster board, but i dont know how to go about this. i dont knwo what wire to use and i dont know if i should paint it and i dont know how to hold it together and i dont really know anything. if you could give me any help i would appreciate it, it would be nice to see some examples of either yours or just of models you found online, and a website on how to build it would be great too. please and thanks.

a lot of this depends on the grade level and how much detail you need
Aluminum has 13 protons and 14 neutrons. These go in the center of the atom. This is the nucleus.
Aluminun also has 13 electons..2 in the innermost shell closest to the nucleus...8 in the next shell... and 3 in the last shell.
you can go into a much greater detail than this but this should get you started
