Chemical Models of Elements Bundle 6: Periodic Table & Models Section

Drawing Bohr Models

Bohr Models 1. Bohr models are used to predict reactivity in elements. 2. Reactivity refers to how likely an element is to form a compound with another element. 3. When looking at Bohr models, we look at its valence electrons (the electrons on the last energy level) to determine reactivity.

Drawing Bohr Models 1. Draw the nucleus. 2. Write the number of neutrons and the number of protons in the nucleus. 3. Draw the first energy level. 4. Draw the electrons in the energy levels according to the rules below. Make sure you draw the electrons in pairs. 5. Keep track of how many electrons are put in each level and the number of electrons left to use.

Rules for Energy Levels 1. Level 1 (closest to the nucleus) can hold a maximum of 2e. 2. Level 2 can hold a max of 8e. 3. Level 3 can hold a max of 18e. 4. Level 4 can hold a max of 32e. You must fill one level before going on to draw the next level!

How to determine the # of Neutrons  The Atomic Mass of an element from the PT is an AVERAGE Mass of all of the elements isotopes. (Remember Hydrogen)  For a NEUTRAL atom, round the Atomic Mass to the nearest whole number. This will be the ESTIMATED number of neutrons in the nucleus of the atom.  To know the EXACT number of neutrons, you must be given the EXACT Atomic Mass.

Guided Practice In order to draw Bohr models of these elements, you must first determine the number of protons, neutrons, and electrons. Once you have found this information, follow the directions to draw your model. 6 C Carbon Protons: _____Neutrons: _____Electrons: ______ How many energy shells will this have? ____ How many valence (outer) electrons does this element have? ____ Bohr Model:

Lewis Dot Structures  Here’s a short video on how to draw Lewis Dot Structures. -AYA1U

Lewis Dot Structures   Lewis Dot Structure Illustrates the number of VALENCE Electrons Valence electrons = Number of electrons in the outermost energy shell Placed around the symbol of the element Helps us determine how compounds are formed / how elements bond   Electrons should be drawn in pairs around the element.   A Lone Electron is called a BONDING SITE which we will cover more in the Bonding Unit.

Drawing Lewis Dot Structure Write the SYMBOL of the element How many valence electrons does the element have? (What group is it in?) Start at 12:00 with your first dot Add dots at 3:00, 6:00, and 9:00 moving clockwise until you reach the correct number of valence electrons. You need one dot at each location before you start adding your second round of dots ** ** These rules are guidelines, not exact. Some conventions go counterclockwise, others draw the structure exactly the same for all group elements. The structure is fluid, it can be rearranged to set up the element for bonding.

Connection to Bonding  Lewis Dot Structures help in Bonding two or more elements together to form compounds. You can see the bonds in Lewis Dot form, or using bonding structures with lines as shown in the examples below. Each line represents 2 electrons.
