Bohr Model Notes:

NEUTRONS AND PROTONS:

Neutrons and protons are located in the nucleus. Write the number of protons and
neutrons inside the nucleus using the symbols ‘p’ and ‘n’.

Number of protons = Atomic Number

Number of neutrons =Atomic Mass – Atomic Number


ELECTRONS:

Electrons are located in energy levels surrounding the nucleus.


Number of electrons = Number of protons

How many electrons can fit in each orbital?

1st orbital = 2 electrons

2nd orbital = 8 electrons

3rd orbital = 8 electrons

4th orbital = 18 electrons

Electrons are always in PAIRS

The LOWER energy levels (circles) MUST be full before you start filling the higher
energy levels. (ie the 1st energy level MUST have two electrons in it BEFORE you
start filling the 2nd energy level)

Chemistry Bohr Model Notes Gogolin/Mavi


Example: OXYGEN 2nd energy level First energy
Fill with 6 to level= 2
make a total of 8 electrons
Protons = Atomic Number = 8

Neutrons = Mass # – Atomic # = 16 – 8 = 8

Electrons = Protons = 8

Oxygen
Found in the 2nd ROW = 2 energy levels
6th element in = 6 electrons in outer
energy level

# Row tells you


# of Energy
Levels

1 2 Columns tell you the # of 3 4 5 6 7 8


electrons in each energy level

1 2 e-

2 8 e-

3 8 e-
4 18 e-

5 18 e-

Chemistry Bohr Model Notes Gogolin/Mavi


 The # of ROWS tells you the # of orbitals you need around the element
 Each ROW tells you how many electrons fill that orbital
o Row 1 = e elements = 2 electrons
o Row 2 = 8 elements = 8 electrons
o Row 4 = 18 elements = 18 electrons
 The # of COLUMNS tells you how many electrons in the outermost orbital
