KLMNOP designations are throw-backs to the early 1900's during the early investigation of elemental x-ray emission upon electron bombardment. The first two types of x-rays were first designated A and B. However to allow for the possibility that lower energy x-rays might be discovered, these x-rays were REDESIGNATED K and L. The K emissions were later known to be derived by the emission x-rays from the n=1 shell, and the L (you guessed it!) came from n=2 electrons.

You may consider the KLMNOP designations to be antiquated.

Why is the ring model of atomic structure useful?

It shows the electron shell and charges on the subatomic particles.


Is The shell model a physical model?

Yes, the shell model is a physical model used in nuclear physics to describe the structure of atomic nuclei. It is based on the idea that nucleons (protons and neutrons) occupy energy levels or "shells" within the nucleus, similar to the electron shells in an atom. The shell model helps explain certain nuclear properties and phenomena.

How many shells in a Bohr Atomic Model?

Bohr model consists only one shell.(a hydrogen atom shell) But shell can be increased by exciting the atom. When the electron comes to its shell it loses energy,therefore,different types of regions have been observed i.e,(Lyman,Balmer,Paschen,Bracket and Pfund)

What is the atomic number of helium's outer shell?

The outer shell of helium does not have an atomic number, that number belongs to helium itself whose atomic number is 2.


What element has 2 electrons in the l shell?

The element with 2 electrons in the L shell is Lithium with atomic number 3. The electron configuration for Lithium is 1s^2 2s^1, meaning it has 2 electrons in the L shell.


What does a drawing of the atomic model for chlorine look like?

An atomic model of chlorine has three electron shells surrounding its nucleus. The first shell has 2 electrons. It has the least amount of kinetic energy among the three shells. The second shell has 8 electrons and has less kinetic energy than the outer shell, but more kinetic energy than the inner shell. The third shell has 7 electrons. It has the highest kinetic energy level of the three shells.
