TRANSCRIPT
1. What is an atom? The smallest unit of an element that still has all the properties of that element.
2. Where are atoms found? Atoms are found in
everything. 3. What particles make up an atom? Atoms are
made up of protons, neutrons, & electrons
Describe the three subatomic particles4. Neutron is subatomic particle found in the
nucleus of an atom and has no charge.
5. Proton is a positively charged particle found in the nucleus of an atom.
6. Electron is a negative charged particle that is located around the nucleus.
7. Explain what an electron cloud is.Area or region around the nucleus of an atom where the electrons are located.
8. Define matterAnything that has mass and takes up space.
9. Lights volume cannot be measured and it has a mass of 0 grams. Is it matter? Explain
No, it is not matter because it does not have mass.

How to Draw Bohr Diagrams
Bohr Diagrams
1) Find your element on the periodic table.2) Determine the number of protons – it is
the same as the atomic number.3) This is how many protons you will draw
in the nucleus.
Bohr Diagrams
1) In the center of the paper draw that many protons.

1) Then find the number of neutrons by subtracting the number of protons from the atomic mass.
2) 12 – 6 = 63) Add that many
neutrons.

Now for the
electronse-
Bohr Diagrams
• Find out which period (row) your element is in.
• Elements in the 1st period have one energy level.
• Elements in the 2nd period have two energy levels, and so on.

Bohr Diagrams
Each level hold a different amount of electrons.1st holds 22nd holds 83rd holds 84th holds 185th holds 326th holds 327th holds 188th holds 8

1) Draw a nucleus with .2) Carbon is in the 2nd
period, so it has two energy levels, or shells.
3) Draw the shells around the nucleus.

1) Add the electrons.2) Carbon has 6
electrons.3) The first shell can only
hold 2 electrons.

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.

Bohr Diagrams
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.
