How to make an aluminum atom model?

First find out how many protons and neutrons it has. The number of protons and protons are equal to its atomic number on the periodic table. Its atomic weight (usually shown on the periodic table in smaller print), is roughly equal to the protons plus the neutrons. So if you subtract the protons from the atomic weight you should see about how many neutrons there are. The protons and neutrons are together in the nucleus. IIRC the protons shouldn't be touching eachother. Finally, each row on the periodic table represents a separate electron orbit. So there are two electrons sharing the orbit closest to the nucleus, kinda like having two planet mercuries next to the sun. That's because there are only two atoms on the first row of the periodic table, hydrogen and helium. Continue adding electrons to the appropriate orbits until you reach aluminum on the periodic table.

the best way to make an atom is to take a base and drill a hole in it. pass a copper wire through it and put small balls to represent each electron.then join thye two ends of the wire to form a circle representing an orbit.make three such orbits with a total of 13 electrons-2 in the first , 8 in the next and 3 in the last.
