Building a model of an atom?

Question

i am building a model of Sulfur for my science class. Can anyone give a good website to visit that will tell me how to build one. also can anyone tell me at which supply stores are good to get the materials to build the atom. Thanks

Answer 1

Sulfur
Atomic Number: 16
Atomic Radius: 104 pm
Atomic Symbol: S
Atomic Weight: 32.06

See the reference
Use 1/2“ Styrofoam balls. The model of sulfur consists of 16 neutrons and 16 protons and 16 electrons.
Color the 16 them green and 16 blue.
Assemble them into a nucleus interlacing each other by using a hot melt glue.
You will need 3 loops representing 3 electron-energy orbits. Since electrons are almost 2000 times smaller then and the size of the atom at this scale could conceivably take a room the model will not be to scale. Place electrons( 1/4 “ balls can be wood or better Styrofoam) Follow the model provided.
First Energy Level: 2
Second Energy Level: 8
Third Energy Level: 6
