The atom models are designed to be able to make actual chemical bond using magnets. They lay on the octet rule for chemistry. The electrons used are only from the outer shell of an element.
The molecule in the photo is NaOH.
Consider using on bed only supports for the nucleus.
- Electrons
-They hold 2 magnets that are with the negative side facing out (like actual electrons are negative)
- Nucleus
-The nucleus holds up to 8 magnets that are with positive side facing out
-Find out how much magnets do you need to place below
- How much magnets to place
-The idea is that an electron with 2 magnets can be used in covalent connections
-Hydrogen is an exeption for the octet rule - it only needs 2 atoms in its outer shell
| Atom/Element | Electron Count | Electrons With 1 Magnet | Electrons With 2 Magnets | Magnets on Nucleus |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Hydrogen | 1 | 0 | 1 | 2 |
| Sodium | 1 | 1 | 0 | 1 |
| Calcium | 2 | 2 | 0 | 2 |
| Oxygen | 6 | 4 | 2 | 8 |
| Chlorine | 7 | 0 | 7 | 8 |
