Step-by-step solution for: Electron Arrangement Worksheet | Atomic Model Activity
Let's solve this step by step. The task is to complete the Bohr model for each element by:
1. Drawing electrons in the correct energy levels (shells) based on the electron configuration.
2. Filling in the number of protons, neutrons, electrons, atomic number, and atomic mass.
We’ll go through each element one at a time using information from the periodic table.
---
- Atomic Number = number of protons = number of electrons (in neutral atom)
- Atomic Mass ≈ protons + neutrons (rounded to nearest whole number)
- Neutrons = Atomic Mass – Atomic Number
- Electron shells fill in order: 2 in first shell, 8 in second, 8 in third, etc.

## 🎯 How to Draw the Bohr Models
For each element:
- Start with the nucleus (blue dot).
- Draw concentric circles (shells).
- Place electrons as small dots around the nucleus, following the 2, 8, 8... rule.
- 1st shell: 2 electrons (dots)
- 2nd shell: 6 electrons (dots)
- Total: 8 electrons

✔ You can now fill in the worksheet with these values and draw the electrons accordingly!
