I tried to model a single atom using mass distribution across

I want to model a single atom, I've built a sphere. And I need to know how to distribute density inside the sphere?
Is there any formula to do that?

This is not how atoms "look". You cannot distribute the mass evenly in any sphere larger than the nucleus. For most purposes I guess you can model the atom as having the mass uniformly distributed in the nucleus, but that is tiny compared to even the radial average of the lowest electron-wavefunctions. Have you understood the structure of the atom, with a nucleus and electrons as "wave-functions"?
WHAT are you trying to model?
