Lithium is element number 3

Its nucleus contains 3 protons and 4 neutrons (Atomic Mass=7) and there are 3 electrons in orbit around the nucleus.

Since there can be only 2 electrons in any orbit. the third electron orbits in a second orbital path, further out from the nucleus.

Which model of the atom first proposed that electrons orbit the nucleus?

The Bohr model of the atom was the first to propose that electrons orbit the nucleus in fixed paths or energy levels. This model was proposed by Niels Bohr in 1913, and it helped to explain the stability of atoms and the emission of specific frequencies of light.

What atoms or ions would you expect the Bohr model to apply Be He positive K Li2 positive?

The Bohr model applies to atoms or ions with a single electron, such as hydrogen or singly ionized ions like He+. For Be (beryllium), which has 4 electrons, the Bohr model would not apply accurately due to multiple electrons influencing each other's behavior. For K (potassium), Li2+ (lithium with a +2 charge), and other multi-electron ions, the Bohr model would also not be appropriate due to their more complex electronic structures.
