In the titanium Bohr model, the nucleus comprises 22 protons and 26 neutrons. Surrounding this nucleus are four electron shells, accommodating a total of 22 electrons.

To draw the titanium Bohr model, represent the 22 protons, 26 neutrons, and 22 electrons. Begin by sketching the nucleus, and then draw the four electron shells. The first three shells should contain 2, 8, and 10 electrons, respectively, while the fourth shell holds the remaining 2 electrons.

Steps

Write protons, neutrons, and electrons of titanium atom

Titanium has 22 protons, 26 neutrons, and 22 electrons.

Draw nucleus of titanium atom

The nucleus of a titanium atom contains 22 protons and 26 neutrons. So draw the nucleus of titanium atom as follows:

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

Draw 1st electron shell

Remember that we have a total of 22 electrons.

The 1st electron shell (containing s subshell) can hold up to a maximum of 2 electrons. So draw the 1st electron shell as follows:

Titanium shell 1

In the above image, 1 represents the 1st electron shell that contains 1s subshell. And the green color represents the number of electrons in that subshell. This means that the 1st electron shell has a total of 2 electrons.

Since we have already used 2 electrons in the 1st electron shell, now we have 22 – 2 = 20 electrons left. So in the next step, we have to draw the 2nd electron shell.

Draw 2nd electron shell

The 2nd electron shell (containing s subshell and p subshell) can hold up to a maximum of 8 electrons. So draw the 2nd electron shell as follows:

Titanium shell 2

In the above image, 2 represents the 2nd 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 2nd electron shell has a total of 8 electrons.

Now we have already used 10 electrons in 1st and 2nd electron shells, so we have 22 – 10 = 12 electrons left. So in the next step, we have to draw the 3rd electron shell.

Draw 3rd electron shell

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

Titanium shell 3

In the above image, 3 represents the 3rd 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 3rd electron shell has a total of 10 electrons.

In the 3rd electron shell, the 3d subshell has only two electrons. This is because according to the aufbau principle, the 4s subshell is filled first and then 3d, 4p, 5s… and so on.

Now we have already used 20 electrons in 1st, 2nd, and 3rd electron shells, so we have 22 – 20 = 2 electrons left. So in the next step, we have to draw the 4th electron shell.

Draw 4th electron shell

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

Titanium shell 4

In the above image, 4 represents the 4th electron shell that contains 4s subshell. And the green color represents the number of electrons in that subshell. This means that the 4th electron shell has a total of 2 electrons.

That’s it! This is the final Bohr model of titanium atom as we have used all 22 electrons: 2 electrons in the 1st electron shell, 8 electrons in the 2nd electron shell, 10 electrons in the 3rd electron shell, and 2 electrons in the 4th electron shell.
