Can you help me with this task and tell me how to proceed in order to execute the drawing correctly?

You simply paint equally large balls for atoms of the same element or different large balls for elements of different elements.

According to Dalton, matter is made up of smallest particles (atoms) which differ by mass and size. that's almost everything he knew.

Do you know how to draw a helium and carbon atom according to the Dalton model?

what is not clear about this sentence:

"You simply paint……… different large balls for elements of different elements."

No, if you want to draw only one carbon atom, then you logically also draw only one circle. And then you paint it out, because it must be a massive bullet.

If you want to draw two carbon atoms, you will also draw two equally large circles. And you'll paint them again. With the same color.

If you want to draw a carbon atom and a helium atom, you will also draw two different circles. And you'll paint them again. And still with the same color.

Why the different size, but the same color? Simple:

According to Dalton, matter is made up of smallest particles (atoms) which differ by mass and size. that's almost everything he knew.

In other words: For Dalton all the atoms consisted of the same dumped dough, only the dumplings were of different size and therefore different heavy. He had no idea about nuclear, protons and electrons.

I'm sorry if I put it so rudely, but if you're in the 13th. Class for a primitive instruction like "male a ball" has to ask again, then something goes wrong.

So if I want to draw only one carbon atom, then do I draw two equally large circles?
