Einsteinium Bohr model

The information on this page is ✔ fact-checked.

In the einsteinium Bohr model, the nucleus holds 99 protons and 153 neutrons. Encircling this nucleus are seven electron shells, carrying a total of 99 electrons.

To draw the einsteinium Bohr model, outline the 99 protons, 153 neutrons, and 99 electrons. Start by illustrating the nucleus, and then draw the seven electron shells. The first six shells should contain 2, 8, 18, 32, 29, and 8 electrons, respectively, while the seventh shell holds the remaining 2 electrons.

Steps

Find protons, neutrons, and electrons of einsteinium atom

Einsteinium has 99 protons, 153 neutrons, and 99 electrons.

Einsteinium protons

• Protons = atomic number

From the periodic table, find the atomic number of einsteinium.

The atomic number of einsteinium is 99. Hence, einsteinium has a total of 99 protons.

Einsteinium neutrons

• Neutrons = atomic mass – atomic number

The atomic mass of einsteinium is 252 and the atomic number of einsteinium is 99.

Subtract the atomic number (99) from the atomic mass (252). Hence, einsteinium has a total of 252 – 99 = 153 neutrons.

Einsteinium electrons

• Electrons = atomic number

The atomic number of einsteinium is 99. Hence, einsteinium has a total of 99 electrons.

Draw nucleus of einsteinium atom

The nucleus of an einsteinium atom contains 99 protons and 153 neutrons. So draw the nucleus of einsteinium 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 99 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 99 – 2 = 97 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 8 electrons.

Now we have already used 10 electrons in 1^st and 2^nd electron shells, so we have 99 – 10 = 89 electrons left. So in the next step, we have to draw the 3^rd electron shell.

Draw 3^rd electron shell

The 3^rd electron shell (containing s subshell, p subshell, and d subshell) can hold up to a maximum of 18 electrons. So draw the 3^rd electron shell as follows:

In the above image, 3 represents the 3^rd electron shell that contains 3s, 3p, and 3d subshells. And the green, orange, and pink color represents the number of electrons in that subshell. This means that the 3^rd electron shell has a total of 18 electrons.

Now we have already used 28 electrons in 1^st, 2^nd, and 3^rd electron shells, so we have 99 – 28 = 71 electrons left. So in the next step, we have to draw the 4^th electron shell.

Draw 4^th electron shell

The 4^th electron shell (containing s subshell, p subshell, d subshell, and f subshell) can hold up to a maximum of 32 electrons. So draw the 4^th electron shell as follows:

In the above image, 4 represents the 4^th electron shell that contains 4s, 4p, 4d, and 4f subshells. And the green, orange, pink, and blue color represents the number of electrons in that subshell. This means that the 4^th electron shell has a total of 32 electrons.

Now we have already used 60 electrons in 1^st, 2^nd, 3^rd, and 4^th electron shells, so we have 99 – 60 = 39 electrons left. So in the next step, we have to draw the 5^th electron shell.

Draw 5^th electron shell

The 5^th electron shell can hold up to a maximum of 50 electrons. So draw the 5^th electron shell as follows:

In the above image, 5 represents the 5^th electron shell that contains 5s, 5p, 5d, and 5f subshells. And the green, orange, pink, and blue color represents the number of electrons in that subshell. This means that the 5^th electron shell has a total of 29 electrons.

In the 5^th electron shell, the 5f subshell has only eleven electrons. This is because according to the aufbau principle, the 6s subshell is filled first and then 4f, 5d, 6p… and so on.

Now we have already used 89 electrons in 1^st, 2^nd, 3^rd, 4^th, and 5^th electron shells, so we have 99 – 89 = 10 electrons left. So in the next step, we have to draw the 5^th electron shell.

Still have a question: Why does the 5f subshell have only eleven electrons?

Let’s draw the orbital diagram of einsteinium, and find the answer to the above question.

Answer: Once the 7s subshell is completely filled, then only we can mark electrons in the 5f subshell. That’s why in the 5^th electron shell, the 5f subshell has only eleven electrons.

Draw 6^th electron shell

The 6^th electron shell can hold up to a maximum of 72 electrons. So draw the 6^th electron shell as follows:

In the above image, 6 represents the 6^th electron shell that contains 6s and 6p subshells. And the green and orange color represents the number of electrons in that subshell. This means that the 6^th electron shell has a total of 8 electrons.

The 6^th electron shell contains only 6s and 6p subshells, and not 6d and 6f subshells. This is because according to the aufbau principle, the 7s subshell is filled first and then 5f, 6d, 7p… and so on.

Now we have already used 97 electrons in 1^st, 2^nd, 3^rd, 4^th, 5^th, and 6^th electron shells, so we have 99 – 97 = 2 electrons left. So in the next step, we have to draw the 7^th electron shell.

Draw 7^th electron shell

The 7^th electron shell can hold up to a maximum of 98 electrons. So draw the 7^th electron shell as follows:

In the above image, 7 represents the 7^th electron shell that contains 7s subshell. And the green color represents the number of electrons in that subshell. This means that the 7^th electron shell has a total of 2 electrons.

That’s it! This is the final Bohr model of einsteinium atom as we have used all 99 electrons: 2 electrons in the 1^st electron shell, 8 electrons in the 2^nd electron shell, 18 electrons in the 3^rd electron shell, 32 electrons in the 4^th electron shell, 29 electrons in the 5^th electron shell, 8 electrons in the 6^th electron shell, and 2 electrons in the 7^th electron shell.
