Bohr Models
1. Bohr models are used to predict
reactivity in elements.
2. Reactivity refers to how likely an
element is to form a compound with
another element.
3. When looking at Bohr models, we look at
its valence electrons (the electrons on
the last energy level) to determine
reactivity.
Drawing Bohr Models
1. Draw the nucleus.
2. Write the number of neutrons and the number
of protons in the nucleus.
3. Draw the first energy level.
4. Draw the electrons in the energy levels
according to the rules below. Make sure you
draw the electrons in pairs.
5. Keep track of how many electrons are put in
each level and the number of electrons left to
use.
Rules for Energy Levels
1. Level 1 (closest to the nucleus) can hold
a maximum of 2e.
2. Level 2 can hold a max of 8e.
3. Level 3 can hold a max of 18e.
4. Level 4 can hold a max of 32e.
