Essential Questions:
What does an atoms structure

look like?
How are electrons configured

in atoms?

Subatomic Particles Review

What are
subatomic
particles?

The parts that make up an atom.

How do we

determine the
number of
Subatomic
Particles in an
atom?

PEN: Protons, Electron, Neutrons

Atomic Number= # of protons &

electrons (in a neutral atom)
Atomic Mass= #protons + # neutrons

What is the Bohr Model?

What is the
Bohr Model?

Bohrs Model was used to explain the

energy of atoms

Only works for Hydrogen, but is good

visualization for atomic structure

P+ : 1

Constructing a Bohr Model

1. Determine # protons & Neutron draw

them in inner circle

How do we
make a Bohr
Model?

2. Determine # Electrons place in

energy levels as follows

1st energy level= 2e- max

2nd energy level= 8e- max
3rd energy level= 18e- max

LETS PRACTICE WITH NITROGEN!

Bohr Model

Nitrogen-14
1. Determine # protons &
Neutron draw them in inner
circle
2. Determine # Electrons
place in energy levels as
follows
1st energy level= 2e- max
2nd energy level= 8e- max
3rd energy level= 18e- max

Lewis Structures
All you have to do for a Lewis

How do you
draw a
Lewis Dot
Structure?
How many
Electrons
are found
in any
Elements
Valence
Shell

Structure is draw Dots around

an Elements Symbol
The amount of dots you draw for a

Lewis Structure (LS for short) is equal

to the # of Valence Electrons in an
Atom
The # of Valence e- an atom has is

dictated by the Group the Element is

in

Practice:
All Elements in the first

group would have a LS like

this:

Practice:
All Elements in the second

group have only 2 Valence
