Bohr Model

Front

What is the Bohr Model?

Back

The Bohr Model is a theory of atomic structure that depicts electrons orbiting the nucleus in defined paths or energy levels.

Front

What does the atomic number represent?

Back

The atomic number represents the number of protons in the nucleus of an atom, which determines the element's identity.

Front

How many electrons can the first energy level hold?

Back

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

Front

What is a valence electron?

Back

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

Front

Which element has an atomic number of 10?

Back

Neon (Ne) has an atomic number of 10.

Front

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

Back

The second energy level can hold a maximum of 8 electrons.

Front

What is the significance of the outer shell in an atom?

Back

The outer shell contains valence electrons, which are crucial for chemical reactions and bonding.

Front

How do you determine the number of valence electrons for an element?

Back

The number of valence electrons can be determined from the group number in the periodic table.

Front

What is the electron configuration for Neon?

Back

The electron configuration for Neon is 1s² 2s² 2p⁶.

Front

What is the difference between an atom and an ion?

Back

An atom is neutral, while an ion has a net charge due to the loss or gain of electrons.
