Nitrogen Bohr Model

The bohr model of nitrogen contains a nucleus having 7 protons and 7 neutrons in the center, and around this nucleus, there are two electron shells containing 7 electrons.

Steps

Here’s how you can draw the bohr model of nitrogen step by step.

Step #1: write protons, neutrons, and electrons of nitrogen atom
Step #2: draw nucleus of nitrogen atom
Step #3: draw 1^st electron shell
Step #4: draw 2^nd electron shell

Let’s break down each step in detail.

#1 Write Protons, Neutrons, and Electrons of Nitrogen Atom

Nitrogen has 7 protons, 7 neutrons, and 7 electrons.

#2 Draw Nucleus of Nitrogen Atom

The nucleus of a nitrogen atom contains 7 protons and 7 neutrons. So draw the nucleus of nitrogen atom as follows:

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

#3 Draw 1^st Electron Shell

Remember that we have a total of 7 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 7 – 2 = 5 electrons left. So in the next step, we have to draw the 2^nd electron shell.

#4 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 5 electrons.

That’s it! This is the final bohr model of nitrogen atom as we have used all 7 electrons: 2 electrons in the 1^st electron shell and 5 electrons in the 2^nd electron shell.
