BOHR MODELS and THE PERIODIC TABLE

SWHS IPS

Name:

Electrons and Energy Levels:

Remember that Niels Bohr determined that electrons are found in ____________________.
A given atom may have _______ of energy levels, well just focus on the first _________.
Making a Bohr Model of an atom:
1)
Draw the ____________ first. Be sure to indicate the number of _________ . Do this by writing the
__________ number. Like this for Helium:
2)

Add the appropriate number of _____________________. How many electrons does a given atom
have again?

3)

The _____ Energy Level may hold a maximum of _____ electrons.

The _____ Energy Level may hold a maximum of _____ electrons.
The _____ Energy Level may hold a maximum of _____ electrons.
The _____ Energy Level may hold a maximum of _____ electrons.

4)

Start adding _____________ ! You must start with the _____ Energy Level and fill it up
___________. Only then can you add electrons to the ___________________________. Since
electrons are ________________ charged, and _______ charges ________, space the electrons as
________________ from other electrons in that specific E.L.

5)

Lets make the Bohr Model for these two atoms:

14

Li

You do it now:
Step 1: Make a Bohr Model index card for elements 1-18 with your table partner. Have one table partner
make elements from Group 1 and the other from Group 2. Cut up a piece of scrap paper to make your
index cards. BE NEAT and DO NOT LOOK AT A PERIODIC TABLE! (use the chart on the back side instead)

Step 2: Spread all 18 cards on your table and find one property or characteristic of the cards that you
can sort them by. Sort the cards into piles based on this one property.
Step 3: Look at your individual piles and pick a different property or characteristic that you can sort each
pile by. Keeping the original piles from Step 1, sort each pile based on the second characteristic you
selected.
Step 4: Now arrange your piles into a table-like organization. Your table should have both an up/down
and left/right order (that is, your property from Step 1 could be the up/down organization and the
property from Step 2 could be the left/right order). Check with Bagley to see if youve got it. Then
sketch the arrangement you made in the space below

Step 5: Make two additional Bohr Model index cards, one for Calcium (atomic # 20) and one for Rubidium
(atomic # 37). Hint: the 4th energy level can hold 18 electrons. Once you have made them, place them
on your table when the fit!
Step 6: In the space below, answer the following questions:
1)

What do rows have in common? (Rows go left to right)

2)

What do columns have in common? (Columns go up and down)

3)

In Chemistry we call columns, _______________ or sometimes _______________. That is because

elements with the same number of _______________ in their _____________________ energy
level behave in a ________________ fashion!
Thats __________ cool!
