Boron Bohr model

The information on this page is ✔ fact-checked.

In the boron Bohr model, the nucleus is composed of 5 protons and 6 neutrons. Orbiting this nucleus are two electron shells, carrying a total of 5 electrons.

To draw the boron Bohr model, note the 5 protons, 6 neutrons, and 5 electrons. Begin by sketching the nucleus, and then depict the two electron shells. The first shell should contain 2 electrons, while the second holds the remaining 3 electrons.

Steps

Write protons, neutrons, and electrons of boron atom

Boron has 5 protons, 6 neutrons, and 5 electrons.

Draw nucleus of boron atom

The nucleus of a boron atom contains 5 protons and 5 neutrons. So draw the nucleus of boron atom as follows:

Now in the next step, draw the 1^st electron shell and start marking electrons.

Draw 1^st electron shell

Remember that we have a total of 5 electrons.

The 1^st electron shell (containing s subshell) can hold up to a maximum of 2 electrons. So draw the 1^st electron shell as follows:

In the above image, 1 represents the 1^st electron shell that contains 1s subshell. And the green color represents the number of electrons in that subshell. This means that the 1^st electron shell has a total of 2 electrons.

Since we have already used 2 electrons in the 1^st electron shell, now we have 5 – 2 = 3 electrons left. So in the next step, we have to draw the 2^nd electron shell.

Draw 2^nd electron shell

The 2^nd electron shell (containing s subshell and p subshell) can hold up to a maximum of 8 electrons. So draw the 2^nd electron shell as follows:

In the above image, 2 represents the 2^nd electron shell that contains 2s and 2p subshells. And the green and orange color represents the number of electrons in that subshell. This means that the 2^nd electron shell has a total of 3 electrons.

That’s it! This is the final Bohr model of boron atom as we have used all 5 electrons: 2 electrons in the 1^st electron shell and 3 electrons in the 2^nd electron shell.
