- Bohr's model describes electrons orbiting the nucleus in specific energy levels or shells (K, L, M, N, etc.). - The maximum number of electrons a shell can hold is generally given by 2n², where n is the shell number (n=1 for K, n=2 for L, etc.). - For atomic number 35 (Bromine), we fill the shells sequentially: - K shell (n=1): 2 electrons (capacity 2) - L shell (n=2): 8 electrons (capacity 8) - M shell (n=3): 18 electrons (capacity 18) - N shell (n=4): The remaining electrons: 35 - (2 + 8 + 18) = 35 - 28 = 7 electrons. - The outermost shell is the valence shell, which is the N shell in this case. - The number of electrons in the valence shell is 7.
For an element with atomic number 35, which one of the following will be the correct number of electrons in its valence shell based on Bohr's model of an atom?
