Bohr Model
- atoms are electrically neutral
-2 different models can be used to describe electron configuration : energy level model and bohr model
-electrons occupy shells which are divided into orbitals (orbitals always exist in pairs)
2e in 1st orbital, 8e in 2nd and 3rb orbital (octet)

EXAMPLES

Gold
bohr model:

energy level model:

6e-
2e-
8p+
O


aluminum
bohr model

energy level model:

3e-
8e-
2e-
13p+
Al


Orbital Shapes
atomic orbitals have a specific name and shape
1s / 2s look like this:

2px:


hybridized orbitals:
the 1st of the bohr levels is the 1st orbital and it holds 2e.
- the 2nd level contains 2s, 2px, 2py, 2p² orbitals. they hybridize to form one 2sp³
