Nitrogen Bohr model

The information on this page is ✔ fact-checked.

In the nitrogen Bohr model, the nucleus comprises 7 protons and 7 neutrons. Surrounding this nucleus are two electron shells, containing a total of 7 electrons.

To draw the nitrogen Bohr model, represent the 7 protons, 7 neutrons, and 7 electrons. Begin by sketching the nucleus, and then draw the two electron shells. The first shell should contain 2 electrons, while the second holds the remaining 5 electrons.

Steps

Write protons, neutrons, and electrons of nitrogen atom

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

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.

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.

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.
