Bohr-Rutherford Notes

The document outlines the Bohr-Rutherford diagram, detailing the structure of an atom, including protons, neutrons, and electrons. It describes the process of drawing the atom, including the arrangement of electrons in orbits around the nucleus. Additionally, it provides a template for recording the atomic number, mass, and number of protons, neutrons, and electrons for various elements.

Drawing the Atom


One of the scientists who helped develop a model of the atom we use today was a Danish
physicist named Neils ________ and a Kiwi physicist, Ernest _______________.
They believed that:
1. Electrons moved in _______________________ around the nucleus.
2. These _______________ are located at certain distances from the nucleus.
3. The maximum number of electrons in the first three orbits is ____, ____ & ____.

Drawing Bohr-Rutherford diagrams:


Step 1: Find the number of protons in the nucleus
Step 2: Find the number of neutrons in the nucleus (this step requires rounding and
subtraction)
Step 3: Find the number of electrons orbiting the nucleus.
Step 4: Fill the inner orbit first with up to 2 electrons, then the second orbit with up to 8
electrons and the third orbit with up to 8 electrons. Once you’ve drawn enough electrons
STOP!
** Remember that like charges repel, so the electrons want to be far away from each other on
each orbit!
