Bohr’s Model of the Atom
How to draw the model
Bohr’s Atomic Theory
The Bohr model was a modification of the
Rutherford model.
Bohr however put the electrons in certain
circular orbits around the nucleus called
shells.

Bohr’s Atomic Theory
Protons and neutrons are found in the nucleus.
Electrons orbit the nucleus in various shells.
Everything else is empty space.

Bohr’s Atomic Theory
Ex.1) Draw a Bohr model of Hydrogen-1.
Step-1 Draw a circle to represent the nucleus.
Step-2 Determine the number of protons and
neutrons and place them in the nucleus.
Step-3 Draw a circle around the nucleus to
represent the electron shell.
Step-4 Place the electron in the shell.

Application
Using the Atom Game board you will build the following atoms:
Sodium
Neon
Boron
Aluminum
Write the elements Name, Atomic #,
Protons, Electrons and Neutrons in you
journal BEFORE using the game
board.
