Slide 2

Orbital

Region where there is 90% probability of finding an electron.

Ca n’t pinpoint the location of an electron .

Density of dots represents degree of probability.

Slide 3

A. Orbital

Orbitals have different shapes.

Slide 4

Energy level

Electrons can only exist at certain energy levels.

Low energy levels are close to the nucleus.

Each energy level (n) can hold 2n2 electrons.

Slide 5

Bohr Model Diagrams

Simplified energy levels using Bohr’s idea of circular orbits.

C. Bohr Model Activity

Choose a number between 1 & 18.

find your element by the atomic number you pick .

Draw a Bohr Model diagram for your element on your marker board.

Round off the mass listed on the table and subtract the atomic # to find the # of neutrons.

abbreviate the # of ‘ p ’ and ‘ n ’ in the nucleus .

Have a partner check your drawing.

repeat with a new element .
