Question

This is the periodic table of the elements.

The Periodic Table of Elements.

Using information from the periodic table, which diagram shows a correct model for an atom of neon?

a




b




c




d

Answer 1

Neon has atomic number 10, so a neutral neon atom has 10 electrons. The correct Bohr model is 2 electrons in the first (inner) shell and 8 in the second (outer) shell.

So pick the diagram (a, b, c or d) that shows a full first shell with 2 electrons and a full second shell with 8 electrons. If you can paste the four images I’ll pick the exact letter.
