The second energy level must be subdivided into two sublevels each with a different energy.
The fifth electron for boron must be in a higher energy level because it takes less additional energy to remove it.

The same is true for the third energy level.

There are many limitations of the Bohr model, including the fact that the calculations work only for hydrogen.
But there is one overriding reason why the Bohr model is so important to our study of the atom and the arrangement of electrons.
The Bohr model tells us that electrons are located only in certain, discrete energy levels and that they can only change from one energy level to another by gaining or losing energy.

The Bohr model has a few discrete energy levels.
An “excited electron” is located in one of these energy levels
A ground-state electron is located in the lowest energy level.

The Bohr model showed only 8 electrons in the third energy level. Where are the other ten electrons?

The Quantum mechanical model has more energy levels available to electrons
Except for the first energy level, each energy level in the Bohr model is “subdivided” into two or more “sublevels.”

14How many electrons go in each region?
Since we can’t see atoms or the electrons we have no idea what they actually look like. Yet we need a way to represent the organization of electrons in an atom.
Much like technicians use a schematic diagram to represent the components in an electronic circuit, chemists use the electron energy diagram to represent electrons in an atom.

An orbital is a “region in space” within an atom where up to two electrons can be located.
An s-orbital is spherical. Two electrons.
The p-orbitals are “dumbell” shaped. Each orbital contains two electrons, for a total of six
The Shrodinger wave equation predicts the shape of the orbitals.
The five d-orbitals are shaped like this. Each orbital can contain two electrons, for a total of 10 electrons. The transition metals are filling
the d-orbitals.

Write the electron configuration using the inert gas core for the following elements:
1. Al 4. P2. V 5. Sn3. Br 6. Bi
1. [Ne] 3s2 3p1
2. [Ar] 4s2, 3d3
3. [Ar] 4s2, 3d10, 4p5
4. [Ne] 3s2, 3p3
5. [Kr] 5s2, 4d10, 5p2
6. [Xe] 6s2, 4f14, 5d10, 6p3
How many valence electrons does each element have?
Valence electrons are the outer-most electrons which are involved in bonding.
1. [Ne] 3s2 3p1
2. [Ar] 4s2, 3d3
3. [Ar] 4s2, 3d10, 4p5
4. [Ne] 3s2, 3p3
5. [Kr] 5s2, 4d10, 5p2
6. [Xe] 6s2, 4f14, 5d10, 6p3
1. Al 32. V 5 3. Br 74. P 35. Sn 46. Bi 5
Look at the Roman numeral at the top of the column for each element.
The valence electrons have the highest principal quantum number.
