The bohr diagram is the diagram of the electrons on the orbital layers of the nucleus of an atom. for potassium, you would put 2 electrons on the first layer, 8 on the second layer, and 9 on the third layer. This is because the atomic number of Potassium (K) is 19, therefore has 19 protons and 19 electrons.

umm no sorry... tht is wrong dude, you can only have 2 electrons on the first orbital, 8 on the second orbital, and 8 on the third orbital not nine!

Actually, The first one is right. Yout can put on a maximum 16 electrons on the third ring, not 8. and if i was worng for some odd reason, you can take that extra electron and put in on the next ring
