Krypton Bohr model

The information on this page is ✔ fact-checked.

In the krypton Bohr model, the nucleus is composed of 36 protons and 48 neutrons. Surrounding this nucleus are four electron shells, accommodating a total of 36 electrons.

To draw the krypton Bohr model, outline the 36 protons, 48 neutrons, and 36 electrons. Begin by sketching the nucleus, and then draw the four electron shells. The first three shells should contain 2, 8, and 18 electrons, respectively, while the fourth shell holds the remaining 8 electrons.

Steps

Write protons, neutrons, and electrons of krypton atom

Krypton has 36 protons, 48 neutrons, and 36 electrons.

Draw nucleus of krypton atom

The nucleus of a krypton atom contains 36 protons and 48 neutrons. So draw the nucleus of krypton 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 36 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 36 – 2 = 34 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 36 – 10 = 26 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 36 – 28 = 8 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 and 4p subshells. And the green and orange color represents the number of electrons in that subshell. This means that the 4^th electron shell has a total of 8 electrons.

That’s it! This is the final Bohr model of krypton atom as we have used all 36 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, and 8 electrons in the 4^th electron shell.
