How to draw a (Bohr) model of an atom

How to draw a (Bohr) model of an atom. Step 1: find the element on the periodic table… Let’s try Sodium (Na). Step 2: Determine the atomic number (smaller of the 2 numbers)… So, for Sodium (Na), the atomic # is 11. The atomic # tells us 2 things: Number of protons (= 11)

  1. How to draw a (Bohr) model of an atom

  2. Step 1: find the element on the periodic table… Let’s try Sodium (Na)

  3. Step 2: Determine the atomic number (smaller of the 2 numbers)…So, for Sodium (Na), the atomic # is 11. • The atomic # tells us 2 things: • Number of protons (= 11) • Number of electrons (= 11)

  4. Step 3: Determine the atomic mass (bigger of the 2 numbers) & round to the nearest whole number… So, for Sodium (Na), the atomic mass is 22.99, but rounded to the nearest whole number it’s 23. • atomic mass = # of protons + # of neutrons

  5. Step 4: Calculate the number of neutrons… • atomic mass = # of protons + # of neutrons • So… 23 = 11 – # of neutrons • Which is the same as… 23 -11 = # of neutrons • Therefore… 12 = # of neutrons

  6. Now… to draw your Bohr model of the atom... Sodium (Na) Atomic number: 11 Atomic mass: 23 # of protons: 11 # of neutrons: 12 # of electrons: 11 First, draw your nucleus with the protons and neutrons…. Na 11 p+ 12 n0

  7. Now… to draw your Bohr model of the atom... Sodium (Na) Atomic number: 11 Atomic mass: 23 # of protons: 11 # of neutrons: 12 # of electrons: 11 Second, draw your first energy level, which can hold up to 2 electrons maximum…. Na 11 p+ 12 n0 2 e-

  8. Now… to draw your Bohr model of the atom... Sodium (Na) Atomic number: 11 Atomic mass: 23 # of protons: 11 # of neutrons: 12 # of electrons: 11 You still have 9 electrons left… Draw a second energy level, which can hold up to 8 electrons maximum…. Na 11 p+ 12 n0 2 e- 8 e-

  9. Now… to draw your Bohr model of the atom... Sodium (Na) Atomic number: 11 Atomic mass: 23 # of protons: 11 # of neutrons: 12 # of electrons: 11 You still have 1 electron left… Draw a third energy level, which can hold up to 8 electrons maximum…. But, you only have 1 electron left, so this energy level will not be full… Na 11 p+ 12 n0 2 e- 8 e- 1 e-
