Bohr Model - March 3 Class

- Atoms are electrically neutral
- Two different models can be used to describe electron configuration: Energy level model and Bohr model
- Electrons occupy or orbitals:
  1. 2e in the first orbital
  2. 8e in the second orbital
  3. 8e in the third orbital
    All of these orbitals combined are called an octet



Orbital Shapes:
- Atomic orbitals each have a specific name and shape.


Hybridized Orbitals:
- The first of the Bohr levels is the 1s-orbital and it holds 2e-
- The second level contains 2s, 2px, 2py, 2pz orbitals. They combine (hybridize) to form 2sp3 orbital
