Atom Model

The Atom Model provides an engaging introduction to the structure of atoms and basic chemistry concepts. Based on Bohr's model, it allows students to explore atomic structure including electron shells, valence electrons, and orbital configurations. With this hands-on tool, learners can build different atoms and visualise how electrons are arranged and how atoms bond.

Why this is beneficial for educational use:

• Simplifies complex chemistry concepts through interactive learning.
• Helps visualise subatomic particles and electron arrangement.
• Encourages exploration of periodic table trends and reactivity.
• Supports foundational chemistry in a tactile and visual format.

Classroom ideas:

• Have students build atoms based on different elements.
• Demonstrate electron transitions and energy levels.
• Use in lessons about bonding and valency.
• Integrate with a unit on the periodic table and atomic theory.

Specifications:

• Model based on Bohr's atomic structure.
• Demonstrates shells, orbitals, and valence electrons.
• Suitable for explaining the octet rule and reactivity trends.
• Engaging for students aged 10+.
