Question
draw the bohr model for si
Step1: Determine the atomic number of Si
The atomic number of silicon (Si) is 14. This means a neutral Si atom has 14 protons in the nucleus and 14 electrons.
Step2: Apply the electron - shell filling rules
- The first shell (K - shell) can hold a maximum of 2 electrons.
- The second shell (L - shell) can hold a maximum of 8 electrons.
- After filling the first two shells (2 + 8=10 electrons used), the remaining 14 - 10 = 4 electrons go to the third shell (M - shell).
Step3: Draw the Bohr model
- Draw a nucleus and label the number of protons (14).
- Draw three concentric circles around the nucleus to represent the K, L, and M shells.
- Place 2 electrons on the K - shell, 8 electrons on the L - shell, and 4 electrons on the M - shell.
