To accurately illustrate a Boron (B) atom, you would need to represent it with the following characteristics:
- Atomic number: 5 (indicating that it has 5 protons in its nucleus)
- Electron configuration: Boron has 5 electrons, typically arranged as 2 electrons in the first shell and 3 electrons in the second shell (1s² 2s² 2p¹).
When looking for a model that accurately represents a Boron atom, ensure it depicts:
1. A nucleus containing 5 protons and typically 6 neutrons (for the most common isotope, Boron-11).
2. Electrons arranged in levels around the nucleus, with 2 in the first shell and 3 in the second shell.
If you have specific diagrams or models to review, please provide them so I can help you identify the correct one.
