What is a Bohr Model?

Back

A Bohr Model is a diagram that depicts an atom with electrons in defined orbits around the nucleus, illustrating energy levels.

Front

How do you determine the number of electrons in an atom?

Back

The number of electrons in a neutral atom is equal to the atomic number.

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 relationship between periods and energy levels?

Back

Each period in the periodic table corresponds to a new energy level for the electrons.
