How to Draw Bohr Models
Modified from dumouchelle slideshare

12. Time to Practice
Choose 6 elements from atomic numbers 1-20 and draw a Bohr Model. You MAY NOT draw the same elements as anyone at your table.

How to Draw Lewis Structures
2008

14. Lewis Structures Find your element on the periodic table.
Determine the number of valence electrons.
This is how many electrons you will draw.

15. Lewis Structures Find out which group (column) your element is in.
This will tell you the number of valence electrons your element has.
You will only draw the valence electrons.

16. Groups - Review Group 8 = 8 electrons Group 1 = 1 electron
Except for He, it has 2 electrons
Group 2 = 2 electrons
Each column is called a “group”
3, 4, 5, 6, 7
Each element in a group has the same number of electrons in their outer orbital, also known as “shells”.
The electrons in the outer shell are called “valence electrons”

17. C Lewis Structures Write the element symbol.
Carbon is in the 4th group, so it has 4 valence electrons.
Starting at the right, draw 4 electrons, or dots, counter-clockwise around the element symbol. C

18. C Lewis Structures Check your work.
Using your periodic table, check that Carbon is in the 4th group.
You should have 4 total electrons, or dots, drawn in for Carbon. C

19. C Lewis Structures On your worksheet, try these elements on your own:P Ca Ar Cl Al C

20. H Lewis Structures On your worksheet, try these elements on your own:P Ca Ar Cl Al H

21. P Lewis Structures On your worksheet, try these elements on your own:Ca Ar Cl Al P

22. Ca Lewis Structures On your worksheet, try these elements on your own:P Ca Ar Cl Al Ca

23. Ar Lewis Structures On your worksheet, try these elements on your own:P Ca Ar Cl Al Ar

24. Cl Lewis Structures On your worksheet, try these elements on your own:P Ca Ar Cl Al Cl

25. Al Lewis Structures On your worksheet, try these elements on your own:P Ca Ar Cl Al Al
