Bohr-Rutherford Diagrams

Question 1

What is a Bohr-Rutherford diagram?

Answer 1

Atomic models that display the number of electrons in each shell of an atom.

It also shows the amount of protons and neutrons are in the nucleus.

Question 2

The electrons DON’T orbit around the nucleus.

True or False?

Answer 2

False.

Question 3

Electrons are shown in outer rings of the diagram, which are called shells.

True or False?

Answer 3

True.

Question 4

Each shell can only contain a SPECIFIC number of electrons.

True or false?

Answer 4

True.

Question 5

What is the electron limit for the first, second, third, and fourth shell?

Answer 5

Shell 1 - Electron limit = 2

Shell 2 - Electron limit = 8

Shell 3 - Electron limit = 18

Shell 4 - Electron limit = 32

Question 6

For the number of the electrons per shell, the first shell must get the maximum amount of electrons before electrons are added the second shell, then third shell, then fourth shell.

True or False?

Answer 6

True.

For example, with helium only has one electron, so it will only have one electron in the first shell.

Although, oxygen has eight electrons, so there are two electrons in the first shell, and six in the next.

Question 7

What is an isotope?

Answer 7

Two or more of the same element

Question 8

Isotopes can NOT have different numbers of neutrons.

True or false?

Answer 8

False.
