Exploring the Bohr Model of the Atom

Miss Fleischer introduces Bohr models, explaining their components and how to draw them. The lesson covers energy levels, electron configuration, and provides examples using helium, lithium, and oxygen. Students learn to identify atomic number, mass, protons, neutrons, and electrons using the periodic table. The video concludes with a practice exercise on drawing a Bohr model for aluminum.
