Question

directions: create a bohr model of an atom by dragging each subatomic particle to the correct location on the model. if you need additional orbitals, you can change the slide layout.
atom
neon
electrons
protons
neutrons

Explanation:

Step1: Find Neon's atomic number

Neon (Ne) has an atomic number of 10, so it has 10 protons.

Step2: Determine electron count

Neutral atoms have equal protons/electrons: 10 electrons.

Step3: Find neutron count

Neon's most abundant isotope (Ne-20) has a mass number of 20. Neutrons = mass number - protons = $20 - 10 = 10$.

Step4: Assign particles to model

• Place 10 protons + 10 neutrons in the central blue circle (nucleus).
• The first electron shell holds max 2 electrons: place 2 electrons on the innermost ring.
• The second electron shell holds max 8 electrons: place 8 electrons on the middle ring (outer ring for neon, as it only needs 2 shells).

Answer:

1. Nucleus (central blue circle): 10 blue protons + 10 red neutrons
2. Innermost electron ring: 2 green electrons
3. Middle (outer) electron ring: 8 green electrons
