Analyzing Atomic Structures in Bohr Models

Front

What is the Bohr model of the atom?

Back

The Bohr model is a representation of the atom that depicts electrons orbiting the nucleus in defined paths or energy levels.

Front

What does the term 'valence electrons' refer to?

Back

Valence electrons are the electrons in the outermost shell of an atom that are involved in chemical bonding.

Front

How many electrons can the first energy level hold in the Bohr model?

Back

The first energy level can hold a maximum of 2 electrons.

Front

What is the significance of the nucleus in the Bohr model?

Back

The nucleus contains protons and neutrons and is the central part of the atom, providing most of its mass.

Front

What is the mass number of an atom?

Back

The mass number is the total number of protons and neutrons in the nucleus of an atom.

Front

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

Back

The number of protons in an atom is equal to its atomic number.

Front

What is the difference between the 's' and 'p' sublevels?

Back

The 's' sublevel can hold a maximum of 2 electrons, while the 'p' sublevel can hold a maximum of 6 electrons.

Front

What element has 11 protons?

Back

Sodium (Na) has 11 protons.

Front

How many total electrons does a neutral sodium atom have?

Back

A neutral sodium atom has 11 electrons.

Front

What is the electron configuration for sodium?

Back

The electron configuration for sodium is 1s² 2s² 2p⁶ 3s¹.
