Bohr and Lewis Models Flashcard

Front

What does the Bohr model represent?

Back

The Bohr model represents the structure of an atom, depicting electrons orbiting the nucleus in defined energy levels.

Front

What is a valence electron?

Back

A valence electron is an electron in the outermost shell of an atom that can participate in chemical bonding.

Front

How many valence electrons does Phosphorus have?

Back

Phosphorus has five valence electrons.

Front

What is the Lewis Dot Structure used for?

Back

The Lewis Dot Structure is used to represent the valence electrons of an atom and how they are arranged around the element's symbol.

Front

How many outer electrons does an Oxygen atom have?

Back

Oxygen has six outer (valence) electrons.

Front

What is the significance of energy levels in an atom?

Back

Energy levels determine the distance of electrons from the nucleus and their energy; electrons in higher energy levels are further from the nucleus.

Front

What element has the atomic number 4?

Back

Beryllium (Be) has the atomic number 4.

Front

What is the maximum number of electrons in the first energy level?

Back

The maximum number of electrons in the first energy level is 2.

Front

What is the electron configuration for Oxygen?

Back

The electron configuration for Oxygen is 1s² 2s² 2p⁴.

Front

What does the term 'octet rule' refer to?

Back

The octet rule refers to the tendency of atoms to prefer having eight electrons in their valence shell.
