Fluorine Bohr model

The information on this page is ✔ fact-checked.

In the fluorine Bohr model, the nucleus holds 9 protons and 10 neutrons. Encircling this nucleus are two electron shells, carrying a total of 9 electrons.

To draw the fluorine Bohr model, note the 9 protons, 10 neutrons, and 9 electrons. Start by sketching the nucleus, and then draw the two electron shells. The first shell should contain 2 electrons, while the second holds the remaining 7 electrons.

Steps

Write protons, neutrons, and electrons of fluorine atom

Fluorine has 9 protons, 10 neutrons, and 9 electrons.

Draw nucleus of fluorine atom

The nucleus of a fluorine atom contains 9 protons and 10 neutrons. So draw the nucleus of fluorine 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 9 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 9 – 2 = 7 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 7 electrons.

That’s it! This is the final Bohr model of fluorine atom as we have used all 9 electrons: 2 electrons in the 1^st electron shell and 7 electrons in the 2^nd electron shell.
