Bohr Diagrams
Atomic Structure Review
• Atoms have a nucleus that contains Protons
and Neutrons
• Electrons are contained in shells that surround
the nucleus
• An atom is made of mostly empty space
• Protons have a positive (+) charge
• Electrons have a negative (-) charge
• Neutrons are Neutral
Electrons
• Each electron shell can hold Electron Number of
a certain number of Shell Electrons
electrons
1 K 2
• Noble Gases have full outer
electron shells 2 L 8
• All other elements have 3 M 18 (max)
partially filled outer
electron shells

Bohr Diagrams
1) Since you have 2
electrons already
drawn, you need to
add 4 more.
2) These go in the 2nd
shell.
3) Add one at a time -
starting on the right
side and going counter
clock-wise.

1) Check your work.
2) You should have 6 total
electrons for Carbon.
3) Only two electrons can
fit in the 1st shell.
4) The 2nd shell can hold up
to 8 electrons.
5) The 3rd shell can hold 18,
but the elements in the
first few periods only
use 8 electrons.
