What does a bohr model look like?

Answer 1

Sodium has the electron configuration 2, 8, 1. A pictorial Bohr model of this atom consists of four concentric circles, one small one for the nucleus and three for the electron orbits. The individual orbits are often labelled with their respective numbers of electrons, or small filled circles are distributed around the orbits where the number of these circles corresponds to the number of electrons. None of the complexity of the Bohr model is usually conveyed in these models.

It's much easier to understand once you've seen one of these. You might take a look at the wikipedia page for sodium.

Answer 2

First off, Bohr's models represent the structure of the atom, as he idealized.

In the middle we would have a circle representing the positively charged nucleus. Then, circling around the nucleus in specific orbits we would have the negatively charged electrons, like the planets circling around the sun, but with electromagnetic forces instead of gravitational, like a solar sytem.

Answer 3

A Bohr model is a simplistic representation of an atom, with a central nucleus containing protons and neutrons surrounded by orbiting electrons in discrete energy levels or shells. The model shows these electrons moving in circular paths around the nucleus at specific distances.
