I Don't Know. Get up and go ask somebody who actually knows this answer.
Atomic and ionic radii are estimated because they are not directly measurable quantities. They are theoretical values based on experimental data and mathematical models. Estimating these radii helps in understanding the chemical and physical properties of elements and compounds.
Scientists represent atoms using atomic symbols, which consist of a chemical abbreviation of the element. They also use structural diagrams such as Lewis dot structures or ball-and-stick models to illustrate the arrangement of atoms within a molecule. Additionally, scientists use numerical values such as atomic mass and atomic number to convey important information about atoms.
You did not specify but seeing as my course is currently specifying in this field I have at least minimalist credentials in laments... Older models had electrons following an orbit which is frankly not true, modern day electron cloud models show that they are roughly here whereas for instance, the Bohr model shows them following a strict orbit
Models are used to visualize the structural features, such as bond angles and distances, spatial arrangements, and functional groups present in a chemical structure. They help chemists understand the three-dimensional arrangement of atoms in a molecule and how it impacts its properties and reactivity.
Creating a scrapbook of an atom can involve visually representing its structure, properties, and interactions. You can include information on its subatomic particles (protons, neutrons, electrons), atomic number, mass, and electron configuration. Illustrate its placement on the periodic table, its chemical reactivity, and the elements it can bond with. Display diagrams or models to represent its atomic structure, such as Bohr models or electron cloud diagrams. Add fun facts or details about its discovery and significance in the realm of chemistry.
All elements have an atomic nucleus containing protons and neutrons and also a cloud of electrons.
We use models to show atoms because they help visualize and simplify the complex and abstract nature of atomic structure. Atomic models, such as the Bohr model or quantum mechanical models, provide a way to represent the arrangement of electrons, protons, and neutrons, making it easier to understand chemical behavior and interactions. These models allow scientists to make predictions about the properties of elements and compounds, facilitating advancements in chemistry and related fields.
Bohr models of atoms are useful because they provide a simplified representation of atomic structure that helps visualize the arrangement of electrons around the nucleus. They introduce the concept of quantized energy levels, making it easier to understand phenomena like electron transitions and spectral lines. While not fully accurate, Bohr models serve as a foundational tool for teaching and conceptualizing atomic behavior before delving into more complex quantum mechanical models.
DODO !
Before Mendeleev, Dobereiner, De-chancourtis, Newland and Lother Meyers had already given their respective periodic arrangement of elements, but none of the models were accepted as they had many limitations...
Bohr diagrams are useful models to show the count - and loosely, the arrangement - of electrons by shell.
Atomic models tell us about the structure of an atom which is based on what we know about how atoms behave. But it is not necessary that it will be a genuine picture of the structure of an atom.

Models are used to show the spatial arrangement and stereochemistry of atoms in a compound chemical structure. They help visualize the 3D structure of molecules, including bond angles and distances between atoms. Models aid in understanding the properties and behavior of chemical compounds.
Chemists can assert with a high degree of certainty that no new elements will be discovered that can fit into the periodic table due to the established principles of atomic structure and electron configurations. The periodic table is organized based on the increasing atomic number and the corresponding electron arrangements, and elements beyond a certain atomic number (currently 118) are predicted to be unstable and unable to form. Additionally, theoretical models suggest that the properties of elements become increasingly erratic as atomic numbers rise, making the existence of new stable elements highly unlikely. Thus, while new isotopes or transient elements may be synthesized, the addition of new stable elements to the periodic table is considered improbable.
