											ATOMIC BASICS How to Draw Bohr Diagrams
											Bohr Diagrams 1) Find your element on the periodic table. 2) Determine the number of electrons – it is the same as the atomic number. 3) This is how many electrons you will draw.
											Bohr Diagrams C 1) Draw a nucleus with the element symbol inside— the symbol represents the protons and neutrons for that atom. 2) Carbon is in the 2 nd row of the periodic table, so it has two energy levels. 3) Draw the energy levels around the nucleus.
											Bohr Diagrams C 1) Add the electrons. 2) Carbon has 6 electrons. 3) The first energy level can only hold 2 electrons.
											Bohr Diagrams C 1) Since you have 2 electrons already drawn, you need to add 4 more. 2) These go in the 2 nd energy level.
											Bohr Diagrams C 1) Check your work. 2) You should have 6 total electrons for Carbon. 3) Only two electrons can fit in the 1 st energy level. 4) The 2 nd energy level can hold up to 8 electrons. 5) The 3 rd energy level can hold a total of 18 electons, but the elements in the first few rows only use 8 electrons.
